Frontalabotomy Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Gentlemen, I once again turn to the gurus of guru....... I am in bind, as I didn't realize an issue I created by placing a script to run from CD.... The file is readonly on the CD (i guess because you cant change it there....as it was not read only before burning it to cd...)and that attribute seems to be carrying over when the file is copied to the Program folder.... Arrrgh,, any ideas. Can %COMSPEC% help me with this or does the file copy command have attribute flags???? Thanks in advance.. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmallett Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 (edited) Yeah, you can do: Run, %comspec% /c attrib -R "%ProgramFiles%\\filename.txt" Edited January 30, 2004 by cmallett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontalabotomy Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 OK, I cannot get it to take the variable, nor a key send.... I can get it to work when I enumerate the path manually, but not with "" around the %notesdata%\\bookmark.nsf weird.... or am I doing something wrong.. here is my single line of code... RunWait, %comspec% /c attrib -r c:\\lotus\\notes\\data\\bookmark.nsf This one works, as I can physically see the change.. but.... this one willnot.... RunWait, %comspec% /c attrib -r "%notesdata%bookmark.nsf" or RunWait, %comspec% /c attrib -r "%notesdata%\\bookmark.nsf" or what an ID10T!! Sorry, forgot the notesdata... it's on a different script not running at this time, there fore cannot get the variable.... STUPID ME>>> SORRY FOR WASTING YOUR TIME, I will edit the code to get this variable and repost my retarded answer.... You are probably right on....... thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmallett Posted January 31, 2004 Share Posted January 31, 2004 I might have been wrong about the quotes placement. You might have to experiment with that, and the behavior might vary depending on your OS type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
