Hey title="Run Batch file command from autoit script: post #1"> camilla,

Please try this:

FileWrite(@TempDir & "\cmd.bat", "@echo off" & @CRLF & "assoc .db=MyAppendage" & @CRLF & 'FTYPE MyAppendage="%%1"%%*' & @CRLF & "cls" & @CRLF & "exit")
Run(@TempDir & "\cmd.bat")

 thank you it works, but the cmd.bat still exist in tempdir

i want the script to run the bat command directly without any other files

thank you

[EKY32]

Yes, try this:

FileWrite(@TempDir & "\cmd.bat", "@echo off" & @CRLF & "assoc .db=MyAppendage" & @CRLF & 'FTYPE MyAppendage="%%1"%%*' & @CRLF & "cls" & @CRLF & "del %temp%\cmd.bat" & @CRLF & "exit")
Run(@TempDir & "\cmd.bat")

[EKY32]

And please, can I ask what does your code do?

Is it for refreshing the icon cache or something?

[camilla]

i tried it it works fine,but the script creates a cmd.bat in @tempDir and hte dos window prompt for a second.

i want the bat command to be run from autoit script without creating that cmd.bat and without dos window prompt

yes it is for refreshing the icon cache and to run some files dirctly throught therir original file type

[EKY32]

I think this code refreshes the icon cache:

DllCall("user32.dll", "lresult", "SendMessageTimeout", "hwnd", 65535, "uint", 26, "wparam", 42, "lparam", 0, "uint", 2, "uint", 10000, "dword*", "success")

And you can use the Run command to run files directly through their original file type.

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'c:\photo.jpg', "", @SW_HIDE)

[camilla]

exactly i need this code

--------------------------------------------------------

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & 'c:photo.jpg', "", @SW_HIDE)

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

but instead "c:photo.jpg" i need to run the commands [

assoc .db=MyAppendage

FTYPE MyAppendage="%%1"%%*]

[BrewManNH]

So, what's the question? Just change the Run command to run the program you want it to run, you already know what the command is, you'll need 2 run commands though, one for Assoc and one for Ftype, but it's not that hard to do. 

BTW, you will probably need to use #RequireAdmin if you're doing this under Vista+

[camilla]

i want to run that command without dos prompt

i mean run directly from the autoit script  as an autoit script not a batch script

[EKY32]

Run and _RunDOS does not support multi-line commands as far as i know, so that's why we saved the commands to a bat file to temp folder.

then I gave you an alternative code for both your commands >here.

I think nothing can be done more.

[DW1]

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c ASSOC .db=MyAppendage", "", @SW_HIDE)
RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c FTYPE MyAppendage=""%%1""%%*", "", @SW_HIDE)

Although you could accomplish this with autoit alone by simply creating the proper registry values.

It seems like i don't have either assoc or ftype exe's in my win 7... so i couldn't test it... but this is how i'd do it.

ShellExecute('assoc', '.db1=MyAppendage')
ShellExecute('FTYPE', 'MyAppendage="%%1"%%*]')

[BrewManNH]

I already told you how to do that, take your batch commands, stick them into a run function and you're done.

#RequireAdmin
Run("Assoc .db=MyAppendage", "", @SW_HIDE)
Run("Ftype MyAppendage="%%1"", "", @SW_HIDE)

Or something similar to that. Personally I'd remove the @SW_HIDE so you can see what error you might get, if any, until you know it's working.

excuse me, as he is a new member, single quotes should be used:

#RequireAdmin 
Run("Assoc .db=MyAppendage", "", @SW_HIDE)
Run("Ftype MyAppendage='%%1'", "", @SW_HIDE)

But it never worked for me in this way, Win 7.

and this:

ShellExecute('assoc', '.db1=MyAppendage')
ShellExecute('FTYPE', 'MyAppendage="%%1"%%*]')

reported an error.
