SOLVED trying to automate GPG...

[laidback01]

Hi, I can encrypt files with GPG from the command line just perfect. However, if I try it from the script, I get a flash of a cmd window and nothing happens - no output file, etc. If there is an error, I can't see it because the cmd window is gone too quickly. here's the code I'm working with... should be simple enough, but I'm very likely doing it all wrong Any ideas would be helpful.

; #SCRIPT# ====================================================================================================


================
; Name...........:  EncryptFile.au3
; Description ...:  Encrypts files with GPG via command line.
; Syntax.........:  N/A
; Parameters ....:  $CmdLine[1] is the NAME of the key to use, $CmdLine[2] is the file to encrypt
; Return values .:  Writes out to a log of chosen in this script

===========================
; Command that works fine - overwrites files, asks no questions.  you need to have the key signed.
; Y:\>gpg --yes --batch --recipient "info@some-office.com"  -e THE_demographic_20080213.txt
;
; $CmdLine[0] is number of parameters
; $CmdLine[1] is param 1 (after the script name)
; $CmdLine[2] is param 2 etc


$key = $CmdLine[1]
$encryptFile = $CmdLine[2]
$command = 'gpg --yes --batch --recipient "'&$key&'" -e '&$encryptFile

;MsgBox(0, "Running this...", $command)

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "$command")

Nevermind, I got it done super easily in a batch file. Guess I just don't know how to do this properly in autoit.

for those who might want to know...

::
:: File to run GPG with two command line args.
:: Argument 1 is the NAME of the key, Argument 2 is the file to be encrypted
:: Example: gpg.bat info@aai-office.com test_2008.txt
::
::
:: Program: C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe 

"C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe" --yes --batch --recipient %1 -e %2

and the way to do it in AutoIT finally...

Run('"C:\Program Files\GNU\GnuPG\gpg.exe" --yes --batch --recipient '& $CmdLine[1] &' -e '& $CmdLine[2])
