The only crowding I see is between "--opt" and the database name because that's the way you specified it with "$Backuptype & $Database" vice "$Backuptype & ' ' & $Database". So I don't see your issue, but you might consider StringFormat() to help it out: $sUser = "root" $sPass = "xxxxx" $Backuptype = "--opt" $Database = "MyDatabase" $Trim = "Trim" $sFormatString = "%s /c mysqldump.exe -u %s -p%s %s %s > %s_%s_%s%s%s.sql" $sExtCmd = StringFormat($sFormatString, @ComSpec, $sUser, $sPass, $Backuptype, $Database, $Database, $Trim, @YEAR, @MON, @MDAY) ; Run($sExtCmd, , @ScriptDir, @SW_HIDE) ConsoleWrite("Debug: " & $sExtCmd & @LF) $sExtCmd = @ComSpec & " /c mysqldump.exe" & " -u root -pxxxxx " & $Backuptype & $Database & " > " & $Database & "_" & $Trim & "_" & @YEAR & @MON & @MDAY & ".sql" ConsoleWrite("Debug: " & $sExtCmd & @LF) Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
