Can't make it work when spaces are in the directory names. Tried any possible quotations..

All my directories and script in "My Documents"

Your help will be appreciated!!

Global $ToolPath = @ScriptDir&"\Myutility" ;;;; \My Documents\main.au3)

Global $myoutput = $ToolPath&"\output"

Global $appspath = $ToolPath&"\apps"

Global $foldertochecksum = @ProgramFilesDir

$runme = @ComSpec & ' /c ' & $appspath&'\md5sums.exe -n -e -b' & ' ' &$foldertochecksum& ' > ' & $myoutput&'\out.txt'

msgbox(0,"",$runme)

RunWait($runme,"",@SW_HIDE)

Thank you for your assistance! It still not working after I changed it as you suggested in both cases below:

Where @ScriptDir=c:temp

OR

@ScriptDir=c:tempmy program

It only works when @ScriptDir=c:temp AND no double quotes used.

Any other suggestions will be appreciated!

Global $ToolPath = @ScriptDir&"md5sums"

Global $myoutput = $ToolPath&"output"

Global $appspath = $ToolPath&"apps"

Global $Foldertosums = @ScriptDir&"7-zip"

DirCreate ($ToolPath)

DirCreate ($myoutput)

DirCreate ($appspath)

$runme = @ComSpec & ' /c "' & $appspath&'md5sums.exe -n -e -b"' & ' ' &$Foldertosums& ' > "' & $myoutput&'out.txt"'

msgbox(0,'',$runme)

RunWait($runme,"",@SW_SHOWNORMAL)

You have no quotes around the $FolderTosums variable.

Try this:

$runme = @ComSpec & ' /c "' & $appspath & 'md5sums.exe -n -e -b"' & ' "' & $Foldertosums & '"' & ' > "' & $myoutput & 'out.txt"'

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I'd fixed your first and third paths, neglecting the second.

BrewmanNH has now added that as well, but I think one portion of his string ought to be what I posted 'md5sums.exe" -n -e -b' rather than 'md5sums.exe -n -e -b"'

Global $ToolPath = @ScriptDir&"md5sums"

Global $myoutput = $ToolPath&"output"

Global $appspath = $ToolPath&"apps"

Global $Foldertosums = @ScriptDir&"7-zip"

DirCreate ($ToolPath)

DirCreate ($myoutput)

DirCreate ($appspath)

Still does not work even where @ScriptDir=c:temp

DOES NOT WORK --- $runme = @ComSpec & ' /c "' & $appspath&'md5sums.exe -n -e -b"' & ' ' &$Foldertosums& ' > "' & $myoutput&'out.txt"'

DOES NOT WORK --- $runme = @ComSpec & ' /c "' & $appspath & 'md5sums.exe -n -e -b"' & ' "' & $Foldertosums & '"' & ' > "' & $myoutput & 'out.txt"'

WORKS! --- $runme = @ComSpec & ' /c ' & $appspath & 'md5sums.exe -n -e -b' & ' ' & $Foldertosums & ' > ' & $myoutput & 'out.txt'

msgbox(0,'',$runme)

RunWait($runme,"",@SW_SHOWNORMAL)

PS Just making sure it work with ScriptDir=c:temp then will try @ScriptDir=c:tempmy program

Does it look correct when displayed by the message box?

I don't have the program you're running but this looks good to me when displayed on the screen:

$runme = @ComSpec & ' /c "' & $appspath & 'md5sums.exe" -n -e -b "' & $Foldertosums & '" > "' & $myoutput & 'out.txt"'

Or, move the one quote after the parms as Brew had it...

$runme = @ComSpec & ' /c "' & $appspath & 'md5sums.exe -n -e -b"  "' & $Foldertosums & '" > "' & $myoutput & 'out.txt"'

One of those ought to work.

By the way, a consolewrite of the $runme variable is a LOT easier to read than trying to stuff it into a msgbox.

It is still not working ;) I am starting to suspect that it may be related to the md5sums.exe PC-Tools utility.. (http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/)

I am providing link to download this utility in case have time..

Thank you for your kindness and support!

Or why not CRC32?

#include <WinAPIEx.au3>

ConsoleWrite(_CRC32(@ScriptFullPath) & @CRLF)

Func _CRC32($sFilePath) ; By Yashied, modified by guinness.
    Local $hFileOpen = FileOpen($sFilePath, 0 + 16)
    If $hFileOpen = -1 Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, 0)
    EndIf
    Local $bData = FileRead($hFileOpen)
    FileClose($hFileOpen)
    Local $iLength = BinaryLen($bData), $tData

    If $iLength = 0 Then
        Return SetError(2, 0, 0)
    EndIf
    $tData = DllStructCreate('byte[' & $iLength & ']')
    DllStructSetData($tData, 1, $bData)
