SpuddyMcSpud Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Hi all, I've been trying to get this going for hours now with no luck. I'm sure it's a case of a badly-placed ' or " but damned if I can figure out where. Below is the relevant code (I know I could run this all from one line, but the code is split out into multiple functions for a bunch of reasons and it works fine in plenty of other places.): $Command="robocopy \\Server\Share$\ /S /PURGE /R:0 C:\Destination /XF *.au3" $CMDToRun="RunWait(@ComSpec&' /k "&$Command&"','C:\Windows', @SW_SHOW)" Run(@AutoItExe&" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "&$CMDToRun) If I console.write $CMDToRun and then paste it into a test.au3, it works fine. If I run it using /AutoIt3ExecuteLine, I get: Line 1: RunWait(@ComSpec&' RunWait(@ComSpec&'^ ERROR Error: String missing closing quote. But I've tried every way I could think of to get the quotes right without any luck. Any help appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 (edited) $Command="robocopy \\Server\Share$\ /S /PURGE /R:0 C:\Destination /XF *.au3" $CMDToRun= RunWait(@ComSpec&' /k '&$Command, "C:\Windows") @sw_show is not supported in RunWait (According to the helpfile) Edited February 26, 2008 by Volly The Vollatran project My blog: http://www.vollysinterestingshit.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpuddyMcSpud Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 I'm still completely stumped by this one, been trying to work it out all day - anyone able to shed any light at all?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I may have a working version to use. The echo seems to work fine. ;~ $Command = "robocopy \\Server\Share$\ /S /PURGE /R:0 C:\Destination /XF *.au3" $Command = 'echo testing...' $CMDToRun = "RunWait(@ComSpec&' /k " & $Command & "',@WindowsDir,@SW_SHOW)" Run('"' & @AutoItExe & '" /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "' & $CMDToRun & '"') Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot MHz, really appreciate the help. cheers, Spud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
