[SOLVED] Problem using Run Command

[schmelle 0]

Hi all,

nice to be back again.

I've got a big problem running openssl.exe from an Autoit script. I want to automate decrypting files with Autoit.

This works, but User must press one time any key:

#include <Process.au3>
 AutoItSetOption ("MustDeclareVars",0)
 Dim $OWNSSLKEY = "my_private_SSL-Key"
 Dim $SSLPATH = "C:\Program Files\OPENSSL\bin"
 Dim $keyfile = "C:\Temp\Key.txt.enc"
 Dim $decryptkeyfile = ""
 $decryptkeyfile = RunWait (@ComSpec&" /c "&"pause | "&Chr(34)&$SSLPATH&Chr(34)&"\openssl.exe enc -d -bf -in "&Chr(34)&$keyfile&Chr(34)&" -out "&Chr(34)&@WorkingDir&"\Key.txt"&Chr(34)&" -k "&$OWNSSLKEY)

This should be the reason, but nothing happens (the output file is not created):

#include <Process.au3>
 AutoItSetOption ("MustDeclareVars",0)
 Dim $OWNSSLKEY = "my_private_SSL-Key"
 Dim $SSLPATH = "C:\Program Files\OPENSSL\bin"
 Dim $keyfile = "C:\Temp\Key.txt.enc"
 Dim $decryptkeyfile = ""
 $decryptkeyfile = RunWait (@ComSpec&" /c "&Chr(34)&$SSLPATH&Chr(34)&"\openssl.exe enc -d -bf -in "&Chr(34)&$keyfile&Chr(34)&" -out "&Chr(34)&@WorkingDir&"\Key.txt"&Chr(34)&" -k "&$OWNSSLKEY)

The difference ist the "pause" command at the beginning of RunWait command after @ComSpec.

Thanks for help.

Try:

$decryptkeyfile = RunWait (@ComSpec &  ' /c  "' &   $SSLPATH & '\openssl.exe" enc -d -bf -in ' & $keyfile &  '" -out "' & @WorkingDir & '\Key.txt"' &  " -k " & $OWNSSLKEY)

Thanks for your reply.

Trying your code does not resolve my problem. The file Key.txt is not created.

Any other suggestions?

Instead of RunWait, test your script but using ConsoleWrite or MsgBox and then you will be able to see what is wrong.

MsgBox( 0,"result is", @ComSpec&" /c "&Chr(34)&$SSLPATH&Chr(34)&"\openssl.exe enc -d -bf -in "&Chr(34)&$keyfile&Chr(34)&" -out "&Chr(34)&@WorkingDir&"\Key.txt"&Chr(34)&" -k "&$OWNSSLKEY)

Hi Martin, I've ckecked this before with MsgBox.

It seems that there is a timing problem within the "Run.." Commands. I think that the command is sent before cmd.exe is ready to accept input. I tried it out with Run, RunWait and _RunDOS. Nothing works as expected.

Then I tried it out was using a "dummy" command at first and then it works as expected.

$decryptkeyfile = _RunDOS (@ComSpec&" /c "&"path | "&Chr(34)&$SSLPATH&Chr(34)&"\openssl.exe enc -d -bf -in "&Chr(34)&$keyfile&Chr(34)&" -out "&Chr(34)&@WorkingDir&"\Key.txt"&Chr(34)&" -k "&$OWNSSLKEY)

Why ever it works now. Should I file a Bug Report?

Thanks and BR
