Run() Problem

[ZebrasInBlankets]

I am using the "Run" to execute a BAT. The BAT file takes a few seconds to kick in for what it is doing. It run's the bat, but it seems to close before it actually does anything. If I double click the BAT it works fine.

$file = "run.bat"
Run($file)

Any suggestions on how to slow down the Run or an alternate method would be greatly appreciated.

Try:

Run(@comspec & " /k run.bat") this will keep the command window open.

Run(@comspec & " /c run.bat") this will close the command window when batch file is done.
