cmd command help

[mrmacadamia]

i need to run command

"C:\Program Files\LiteStep\utilities\wxlua.exe" "C:\Program Files\LiteStep\utilities\LOSS.lua" explorer

with the code

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'C:\Program Files\LiteStep\utilities\wxlua.exe C:\Program Files\LiteStep\utilities\LOSS.lua explorer', "")

but i can't seem get it work. Problem with the spaces between Program Files or maybe the quotation marks. I tried all, but failed.

I know I can automate by run it by start>run sendtext but i want to know to execute it from command line.

Thanks

Run(@ComSpec & ' /c "C:\Program Files\LiteStep\utilities\wxlua.exe" "C:\Program Files\LiteStep\utilities\LOSS.lua" explorer')

And what happen if you run the exact line in the command line?

i run using windows's START > RUN and I put exactly like this

"C:\Program Files\LiteStep\utilities\wxlua.exe" "C:\Program Files\LiteStep\utilities\LOSS.lua" explorer

and a window came out,

"You have set explorer.exe as your etc etc ......"

Yes No Undo

well, i change /c into /k to see where it stopped.

As a result in the command window

it says 'C:/Program' cannot be executed.

I think the spaces give me the problem although I change the C:\Program Files into @ProgramFilesDir or %programfiles%.

Can you post exactly what you tried which doesn't work, or are you saying you get that error message when yopu try the code that Authenticity posted?

Ah a fellow litestepper,

try

$CurrDir = @WORKINGDIR
FileChangeDir(@ProgramFilesDir &"\LITESTEP\UTILITIES")
RunWait("wxlua.exe loss.lua explorer",@WORKINGDIR)
FileChangeDir($CurrDir)

Rules of execution, its not bulletproof but I am glad it helped ya.

Also @COMSPEC is only necessary when running True command shell commands, or when using cmd only compliant redirection switches.
