Use Variable in CACLS statement

[boyemillar]

I would like to use a Variable in a CACLS (For changing file permissions) statement rather than typing the directory in.

$varname="c:\mydir"

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c CACLS $varname, /E /C /R "System"','',@sw_hide)

Just want to do this if possible for ease of reading the script as most of the rest of the script uses the variable name instead of the full path and it would make it easier to change the path in the future.

Any one know how to do it or if its possible...

Cheerz Richard,

I had to remove the comma just before the (/E) to get it to remove "System" from the permissions.
