WinWaitClose dosen't work [SOLVED]

[RacecarSoft]

I'm trying to make my script pause until WinRAR finishes making an archive, but instead AutoIt just quits, what's wrong?

EDIT: SOLVED! Solution: Use this:

If Not IsDeclared("$winrardir") Then Dim $winrardir;Do not put rar.exe at the end.
If Not IsDeclared("$filetoarchive") Then Dim $filetoarchive
$winrardir = "path to winrar or where rar.exe is";Example, C:\Program Files\WinRAR
$filetoarchive = "file you want to be put in a rar archive";Example, "C:\Downloads\file.file" (for files) or "C:\files" (for folder)
Run("cmd.exe")
WinWait("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe")
If Not WinActive("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe", "") Then WinActivate("C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe")
Send('cd ' & $winrardir & '{ENTER}rar a "' & $filetoarchive & '"{ENTER}')

I don't remember seeing any errors but I'll look again now...

No errors that I see.

I get this at the end:

...19:21:01 AutoIT3.exe ended.rc:0

19:21:02 AutoIt3Wrapper Finished

Exit code: 0...

Whats the exact title you're searching for? Maybe switching to

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)     ;1=start, 2=subStr, 3=exact, 4=advanced, -1 to -4=Nocase

will help...

Try while and wend loop.. are you using it..?

It just makes the script stop.

EDIT: Problem solved, maybe it's about time we all use the good ol' command prompt for winrar.
