Help with RunWait $filename

[failedtocompile]

Hello Crew

I have been looking for example scripts to see if it can be done and also looking thought helpfile for Variables/Runwait etc...

I was wondering if you can substitute RunWait( "filename"

with:

$Store1 = EnvGet("HomeShare")
$Store2 = "H:\temp";Windows mapped network drive and folder temp
$File1 = @ScriptDir
$File2 = "C:\program files\alpha\101.exe"


RunWait('"$File2" /q /f /s "'  $store2 '"')

Working code:

$MyHomeShare = EnvGet("HomeShare")

RunWait('"PRO.EXE" /q /f /s "' & $MyHomeShare & '\officebkup\officebkup.OPS"');PRO.EXE is located within where the compiled script is being run from

I am still having a hard time working out spaces and quotes, double quotes brackets.

Any help would be appreciated

thanks

RunWait('"' & $File2 & '" /q /f /s "' & $store2 & '"')

Use the & symbol to connect text.

Thanks Richard Robertson

May you point me in the right direction on where you learned that from? So if i was to go to helpfile i can find an example

Try the help file or searching for RunWait in all the forum. You will see many many examples there.

Hi bo8ster

My first post states that I have checked both sources.

But the use of & and " ' does not go into detail in the help file when searching for RunWait .

What i was asking for was someone to help me with where to locate the explanation of implementing & within a script.

I would think someone asking for help in locating "Help" on certain topics is better than someone just continually wanting answers i.e. being slack.

Question still stands, is there a help file that explains the use of & and " '

Thanks in advance

Sorry I did not get your question up front.

The help file provides more of a quick guide of how to use functions. Richard is very experienced so I would assume he like many others here have learnt though experience and asking questions just like you have here. I learnt the & symbol by looking at other scripts. There are some tutorials in my Sig if you are looking more in depth info.

Just Searching, ' " and & is explained in "Language Reference" of the help file.

I replied based on years of general programming experience, sorry. I don't really know where one would have found this in AutoIt documents.
