directory confusion

[gcue]

i am having trouble using a dos program and piping to a directory

here's what i got (pslist- lists active processes on a remote machine)

$file = (@TempDir & "\pslist.txt")
RunWait(@ScriptDir & "\pslist.exe " & "\\" & $asset & " > " & $file)

here's the syntax which works without using autoit:

pslist.exe \\assetnumber > c:\temp\pslist.txt

i cant find the file *sigh*

i've checked the remote machine's temp dir, my temp dir, and the scriptdir and i dont see where pslist.txt went

*sigh*

You need to use @Comspec to be able to use the pipe characters.

i tried:

RunWait(@ComSpec & @ScriptDir & "\pslist.exe " & "\\" & $asset & " > " & $file)

but that didnt work either.

Try something like this:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & '\pslist.exe" "\\' & $asset & '" > ' & FileGetShortName($file))
