millisys Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Hi, I am trying to open into scite an au3 file from another au3 file and then navigate to the specified line number. I can get the test.au3 file to open in Scite but I do not know of an additional parameter to specify the line number. ShellExecute("test.au3","","","edit") Any ideas? Thank you.

somdcomputerguy Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Try ShellExecute, instead of Run. - Bruce /*somdcomputerguy */ If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrewManNH Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 No need to use ShellExecute to run an executable program, it can be done like this. Run(@ComSpec & " /k " & "'C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\SciTE.exe' -open:C:\\Program Files\\SciTE\\SciTEDoc.html -goto:123") If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

millisys Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Thank you BrewManHN, I get a message that 'C:Program' is not recognized... Do I have to use FileGetShortName for the COMSPEC to work? I am using a work computer which is Win2K. Is that the problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 (edited) Did you copy what I posted exactly? Because there's quotes around the path to Scite.exe and that should not have happened. Note: BTW, there's no point in using @ComSpec for this either, but I used it so that if there were an error, you'd be able to see it. @ComSpec should only be used if you're using some internal Windows command, not an external executable.

millisys Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi BrewManNH, I tried it again on an XP box and same results. It must be the way the computer was configured. I have had problems using @ComSpec on these computers in the past. I am sure that it would work on a normal computer.

millisys Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi Nessie, Your function is awesome! For some reason it does not work on my installation of 2K but it works brilliantly on XP. Thank you so much! I noticed that when I type Scite from the Run command on XP it opens up Scite. When I do the same on 2K it says it cannot find Scite. Any idea how to fix this? I apologize if this is more of a Windows than AutoIt question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millisys Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi Nessie, Awesome! That is a fantastic function. I experimented with your first version and moved the $s_scite variable from the working directory parameter to the filename parameter and both versions now work in 2k. Is there functionally a reason to use: Run($s_scite & ' "-open:' & $s_au3 & '" -goto:' & $iLine) vs:? ShellExecute($s_scite, '"-open:' & $s_au3 & '" -goto:' & $iLine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
