Using the RUN command

[JenK]

Hoping that someone could help out with this. I do not use AutoIT that often and am trying to reference a variable or built-in macro from within the Run command. The problem is that the Run command is calling an executable with command line parameters following it. The Command line then contains the variable that is trying to be referenced. Because the Run command is using quotes ("") the variable is not being referenced as its value from the registry but rather the variable code itself ($CNAME).

Here's my code (some editing done on the command line but you should be able to see what I'm trying to do):

Global $CName=RegRead("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName", "ComputerName")

Run("c:\temp\dsmod.exe group CN=Wireless_Group -addmbr CN=$CName")

I have also tried to use the built-in macro (@ComputerName) in exchange for my variable $CName but it doesn't seem to work either. The dsmod.exe needs the computer name of the local system.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Br,

Jen

Run("c:\temp\dsmod.exe group CN=Wireless_Group -addmbr CN="&$CName)

AutoIt doesn't render variables in quotes like PHP does.

$variable = "oranges"

MsgBox(0,"", "I like " & $variable)

You can also use StringFormat():

$result = StringFormat("I like %s", $variable)

MsgBox(0,"",$result)

Sorry that I omitted this but there are actually commands following the referenced variable:

$CName,OU=OL...

Whats the problem? Just add them on.

$a = "A"

$b = "B"

$c = "C"

$var = $a & $b & $c
$var = StringFormat("%s%s%s", $a,$b,$c)

$var = $a & " " & $b & " " $c
$var = StringFormat("%s %s %s", $a,$b,$c)

Thanks for the help! I got it to work flawlessly.
