need to execute cmd commands

[awaix]

Hi,

im really new to this autoit.. ive been reading alot..

i just couldnt get how can i use cmd commands directly into autoit?

like i want to use

ipconfig /flushdns
net stop dnscache
ipconfig /flushdns
net start dnscache
ipconfig /flushdns

but i dont knw how can just get them to do in autoit? and in administrator mode?

i was able to do it by creating .bat file separatly and then executing it by requireadmin run command.. but what about having to have one one .exe? instead of having .bat and .exe?

$CMD = "ipconfig /flushdns"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)

error:
Line 1(File "C:\user\awaix\desktop\test2.au3"):
$CMD = "ipconfig /flushdns" RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD)
$CMD = "ipconfig /flushdns" RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & ^ERROR

Error: Variable used without being declared.

It needs to be on separate lines.

now i didnt get any error.. but i didnt see the process too.. it was just a blink.. not sure what happened in it where as flushdns takes time to complete itself.. can we do something like..

open cmd first and then execute the commands on it.. while showing whats happening??

[darkjohn20]

Look at RunWait in the Help File.

$CMD = "ipconfig /flushdns"
RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & $CMD, @WindowsDir, @SW_SHOW)

The code below is perhaps worth a try as it attempts to do all 5 commands in a single CMD instance.

; Use to run the command following && only if the
; command preceding the symbol is successful.
; Cmd.exe runs the first command, and then runs
; the second command only if the first command
; completed successfully.
; Reference:
; http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb490954.aspx
$CMD = 'ipconfig /flushdns && ' & _
        'net stop dnscache && ' & _
        'ipconfig /flushdns && ' & _
        'net start dnscache && ' & _
        'ipconfig /flushdns'

; /k keeps the CMD window open.
; /c closes the CMD window once the command is complete.
; Reference:
; Type CMD /? in a command prompt window for help
; with CMD options.
RunWait('"' & @ComSpec & '" /k ' & $CMD, @SystemDir)

[darkjohn20]

MHz is correct. I completely forgot about /k.

What about commands like netsh when you need to us " in the command?

You realize this topic is some 6 years old?
anyway, what exactly is your question? show the command you need and what you tried.

use single quotes

MsgBox(32, "Set DNS 1", _DosRun('netsh interface ipv4 add dns "Local Area Connection" 8.8.8.8'))
MsgBox(32, "Set DNS 2", _DosRun('netsh interface ipv4 add dns "Local Area Connection" 208.67.222.222 index=2'))

Func _DosRun($sCommand)
    Local $nResult = Run('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c ' & $sCommand, @SystemDir, @SW_HIDE, 6)
    ProcessWaitClose($nResult)
    Return StdoutRead($nResult)
EndFunc   ;==>_DosRun

Can you tell me more, english is not my native language.
"common sense" ?  You want to tell me does not to reply if it has any common sense?

This thread was abandoned 6 years ago. The only two people that should be talking this thread should be the Mod(s) and the moron that revived the thread. You inquisition of this thread was unneeded.

[Trong]

I thought you were too strict!
Anyway, I will not repeat such an action.
Thank you for your prompt.

best regards,

And so here we are again re-living a 2 year old burn. Let this be a fun reminder that a post is useful in the future and can still be expanded beyond the original question at any time.

My code:

$CMD = " cd C:\Users\Someone's\Desktop\Nmf\ && " & _
        " 1.nmf "
RunWait('"' & @ComSpec & '" /c ' & $CMD, @SystemDir)

Problem:

It opens the file with its default program (NICE Player if you are wondering) no problem; But my code cant continue until the cmd window closes, and it doesnt, help!

best regards

That is to be expected since:
RunWait() will wait until the program finishes.
Run() will continue right away providing the PID of the running process.
