Can't make it work when spaces are in the directory names. Tried the following:

FYI (c:tempnew folder) is a @ScriptDir

CMD DOS (batch) WORKS

"c:tempMy Folderappspsloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application > "c:tempmy Folderout12.txt"

AutoIT Does Not

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "'&@ScriptDir&'appspsloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application > "'&@ScriptDir&'out12.txt"','',@SW_SHOWNORMAL)

Please help

You need something like this:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & @ScriptDir & 'appspsloglist.exe -accepteula -d 14 Application > "c:tempmy Folderout12.txt"'

Thank you for your assistance.

Here is what cmd error I got by changing /c to /k to see the error

'C:tempMy' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

C:tempMy Folder>

The ending bracket was missing:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & @ScriptDir & 'appspsloglist.exe -accepteula -d 14 Application > "c:tempmy Folderout12.txt"')

[stg68]

I noticed and fixed it before i run it again. So, the error the same

Thank you

[water]

Or this:

RunWait(@ComSpec & " /c " & @ScriptDir & "appspsloglist.exe -accepteula -d 14 Application >""c:tempmy Folderout12.txt""")

[stg68]

Nope. The same CMD error

[stg68]

Not sure if it is helpful, but when autoit script runs the batch file with runwait and bat file has the only this line below it works:

"c:tempMy Folderappspsloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application > "c:tempmy Folderout12.txt"

[water]

I see. The path to the exe has spaces too. Then you need:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & '\apps\psloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application > "c:\temp\my Folder\out\12.txt"')

[stg68]

well. CMD error is the same

[water]

Just to verify, what do you get when you run:

ConsoleWrite(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & 'appspsloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application > "c:tempmy Folderout12.txt"' & @CRLF)

[stg68]

This

>"C:Program Files (x86)AutoIt3SciTE..autoit3.exe" /ErrorStdOut "C:tempMy FolderLogs.au3"

C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c "C:tempMy Folderappspsloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application > "c:tempmy Folderout12.txt"

>Exit code: 0 Time: 0.216

Looks good :-)

Are you sure about the parameters?

[water]

Another try. Let's specify a working directory:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & 'appspsloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application > "c:tempmy Folderout12.txt"', @ScriptDir & 'apps')

Still no luck

[water]

OK, let's do it step by step. Just call the application without redirecting the output:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & '\apps\psloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application')

[stg68]

works

[water]

Fine, next step is to add the redirection using a path without spaces:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & '\apps\psloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application>C:\temp\test.txt')

Is there a file C:\temp\test.txt with the correct content?

[stg68]

C:temptest.txt file created with the correct content

[water]

Fine, now we put some quotes around it and save to "C:\temp\test2.txt":

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & @ScriptDir & '\apps\psloglist.exe" -accepteula -d 14 Application>"C:\temp\test2.txt"')
