[Solved] Folder name with *.* in cmd

[johnmcloud]

Hi guys, i need you help, again

I have a folder that changes everytime the name. Basically is:

test-test-123456789

The name test-test is equal everytime, the number 123456789 changes.

The problem is this: i have to use cmd for build a file in this directory. It's a simple script to avoid the MAX_LENGHT of cmd ( max 256 character limit )

The directory is:

@workingdir & "\test-test-123456789\build\test.sln

This is the script:

$var1 = "cd Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319"
$var2 =
$var3 = @WorkingDir & $var2 & "\build\test.sln"
Run(@ComSpec)
Send(".cd C:\")
Send("{ENTER}")
Send($var1)
Send("{ENTER}")
Send($var3)

I don't know how to set $var2, because the name changes everytime.

I have also the same problem with directory of Framework ( v4.0.30319 ), but if i know how to set the variable for test-test i can apply for .NET directory

Thanks for support

Thanks for answer, the first part work fine

But the second not, because it will be:

C:WINDOWSMicrosoft.NETFrameworkv4.0.30319>MSBuild C:Documents and SettingsWindows XpDesktoptest-test-ffd119cbuildtest.sh

I need only 1 line, if you can help i'll be grateful

I'll update the script:

Opt("TrayIconHide", 1)
Opt("ExpandEnvStrings", 1)  ;0=don't expand, 1=do expand
Opt("ExpandVarStrings", 1)  ;0=don't expand, 1=do expand

$var1 = "test-test-ffd119c"
$var2 = "MSBuild" & " " & @WorkingDir & $var1 & "buildtest.sln"
Run(@ComSpec)
winwaitactive("[class:ConsoleWindowClass]")
Send("cd %windir%Microsoft.NETFrameworkv{Tab}{ENTER}")
Send($var2)

Work, but i need to set the variable for part "ffd119c" becouse it changes every update.

How to set this variable?
