I am trying to run comspec dir for the Username\temp folder ..

cant seem to get into Documents and settings with run comspec dir

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$hdata="\*.*"

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "dir " & @UserProfileDir & "\Local Settings\Temp" & $hdata & " /a :h /b /s" & " > " & @TempDir & "\dir.txt","",@SW_HIDE)

;RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & "dir " & @HomeDrive & "\Temp" & $hdata & " /a :h /b /s" & " > " & @TempDir & "\dir.txt","",@SW_HIDE)

SLEEP(1000)
Run('Notepad "' & @TempDir & '\dir.txt"')

could be the use of quotation marks for the variables, i know that it uses different ' and " for different things but dont know which sry =( :">

Comspec does not like spaces in the address, so a mixture of single and double quotes, should help to fix this.

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

$hdata="\*.*"

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'dir "' & @UserProfileDir & '\Local Settings\Temp' & $hdata & '" /a :h /b /s' & ' > "' & @TempDir & '\dir.txt"','',@SW_HIDE)

;RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & 'dir "' & @HomeDrive & '\Temp' & $hdata & '" /a :h /b /s' & ' > "' & @TempDir & '\dir.txt"','',@SW_HIDE)

SLEEP(1000)
Run('Notepad "' & @TempDir & '\dir.txt"')
Exit
