running exe with parameters

[joeloyzaga]

was looking at internet and found this to run via command line and wondered how to do it via autoit

C:pathbin>call mdrv.exe -usr "c:testtestFotMdrv.usr"

tried doing this and its come up with syntax errors (see attachment)

Run (C:Program Files (x86)HPUnified Functional Testingbinmdrv.exe -usr , "C:pwcPWC-QTPPWC-QTP.usr")

Try something like this:

$sPath = "C:\Program Files (x86)\HP\Unified Functional Testing\bin\mdrv.exe"
ShellExecute($sPath, ' -usr , "C:\pwc\PWC-QTP\PWC-QTP.usr"')
 If @error Then ConsoleWrite("Run failed with error: " & @error & @CRLF)

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>

$Path = "C:\path\bin\"
$Exe = "call mdrv.exe"
$Switch1 = "-usr"
$Switch2 = '"' & "" & 'c:\test\testForMdv.usr' & '"'

MsgBox(0,"",$Path & $Exe & " " & $Switch1 & " " & $Switch2)

Here's a dirtier way of doing it.

Are you trying to make a Rube Goldberg script?!

[joeloyzaga]

I did not get an error it could capture - but 
I did get an error

see attached

[JLogan3o13]

So that tells you that the first half of the ShellExecute (the path to the file) is correct. You have an error in the command line parameters. Is there supposed to be a space between -user and the comma? Can you verify the 'C:pwcpwc-qtppwc-qtp.usr' file exists?

[joeloyzaga]

this is the code now

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Outfile_type=a3x

#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

$sPath = "C:Program Files (x86)HPUnified Functional Testingbinmdrv.exe"

ShellExecute($sPath, ' -usr "C:pwcPWC-QTPPWC-QTP.usr"')

 If @error Then ConsoleWrite("Run failed with error: " & @error & @CRLF)

 

seems to run it but nothing is started

Is the error message still coming up?

[joeloyzaga]

yes

this is the actual command I use on the windows command line

C:Program Files (x86)HPUnified Functional Testingbin>call mdrv.exe -usr "c:pwcPWC-QTPPWC-QTP.usr"

How can I run it via autoit then? use the Run function? keep getting the syntax wrong

Try

Shellexecute('C:Program Files (x86)HPUnified Functional Testingbinmdrv.exe','-usr "c:pwcPWC-QTPPWC-QTP.usr"','C:Program Files (x86)HPUnified Functional Testingbin')
