Run exe in command line with environment variable

[pintas]

I'm trying to run a custom exe in command prompt using a environment variable, but when i use "" it simply doesn't work.

The dos program i'm using needs double quotes to work with files.

Can anyone help me out please?

Here's the script i'm trying to get working:

Run('prog.exe copy "%appdata%\file.txt" -param',"",@SW_HIDE)

Double Quotes? like this?

Run('prog.exe copy ""%appdata%\file.txt"" -param',@SYSTEMDIR,@SW_HIDE)

No, i mean like this: "%appdata%\file.txt"

Autoit needs the "" to work so that variable inside is completetly disregarded.

In the command prompt it would look like exactly like this what i'm trying to accomplish via autoit:

C:\> prog.exe copy "%appdata%\file.txt" -param

1. Look under ShellExecute()

Run() can Only execute EXE, BAT, COM, or PIF

2. %appdata% -> $myvar&"file.txt" (@AppDataDir&"file.txt" or @AppDataCommonDir&"file.txt" as well !)

prog.exe copy "%appdata%\file.txt" -param

Try this:

Run(@COMSPEC & ' /c prog.exe copy "%appdata%\file.txt" -param',@SYSTEMDIR,@SW_HIDE)

Somehow with the '@SYSTEMDIR' it just doesn't work. The program doesn't run. If i remove the @SYSTEMDIR, the program runs, but it doesnt understand the command.

I didn't quite understand it... should i copy the proggy.exe to the systemdir?

Any other way to do it?

Thanks for your help

Oh... well no. you can change it to @SCRIPTDIR if prog.exe is in the same directory as your script. That's the working directory. I just use @SYSTEMDIR as a filler if the program I'm running is in the system path (accessible from anywhere).

It works beautifully!

If i was gay i would kiss you. LOL
