How to use variable in Run command for the Path + Executable ?

[MikeK6MKF]

; Here is the the fully qualified name of the executable I want to run in a variable
Local $AcrobatEx = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe"

; And here is the working Run statement in which I want to use $AcrobatEx instead of the whole fully qualified name string
Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A page="'& $page &'" "C:\Predictions\UTC_80.pdf"')

I've tried a lot of different combinations to get this to Run, but my I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks in advance for your advice and suggestions.

What does the error message say, or does it even open the document at all?

EDIT:

Local $page = 2
run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A page="' & $page & '" "C:\Users\test\Desktop\Misc\Dealing_with_DLL.pdf"')

Took me to 2nd page fine. When I put in an invalid page such as 300, it gives me an error and opens last page of document. If I mess up quotes, it will open reader, but not the PDF file.

It doesn't open it at all.   Once I get past compiler errors, it doesn't do anything.   

I enforce the correct page number as there are 24 pages per PDF file.

I'm trying to make changing the path and name of the Acrobat Reader executable easy to change in the variable declaration, and have that used by Run statements in the rest of the code.

I'd like to do the same thing for the PDF directory string as well.

Quite a newbie here, so I specialize in 'duh' questions at this point.

Hm. What are these compiler errors?

Also, any script you haven't posted that could be maybe causing this problem?

What is the content of $page?

This works fine for me:

$page=3
; And here is the working Run statement in which I want to use $AcrobatEx instead of the whole fully qualified name string
Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A page="'& $page &'" "C:\Predictions\UTC_80.pdf"')
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug:' & '"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A page="'& $page &'" "C:\Predictions\UTC_80.pdf"' & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console

Hi Jos,

The value of $page is computed by:

$utc = _GetUTC()

$page = (($utc + 100) / 100 )

 

Func _GetUTC ()

Local $utc = 0, $ReadUTC = 0

 

; Get current system time into $utc

$utc = _Date_Time_GetSystemTime()

 

; Extract UTC hour and minute and concatentate them into $utc

$utcHour = DllStructGetData($utc, "Hour")

$utcMin  = DllStructGetData($utc, "Minute")

$utc = StringFormat("%02d%02d", $utcHour, $utcMin)

 

; now get any value in the UTC input field

$ReadUTC = GUICtrlRead($UTCTime)

 

; Test for null value, i.e. nothing was entered in UTC field

If StringRegExp($ReadUTC, "^d{4}$") = 0 Then

Return $utc  ; return $utc as value read from system clock

Exit         ; exit the function

EndIf

 

; The UTC input is not null and is 4 digits, so the function continues

; The input string is formatted into the 4 digits

$ReadUTC = StringFormat("%04d", GUICtrlRead($UTCTime))

 

; If the GUI input is a number equal to or greater than 0 and less than 2400, the it's a valid UTC input, and it becomes the value of $utc

; Otherwise, $utc remains the value obtained from the system clock

 

If $ReadUTC >= 0 And $ReadUTC < 2400 Then

    $utc = $ReadUTC ; $utc becomes the entered 4 digit value

Return $utc     ; $utc is returned to caller

Exit            ; exit the function

Else

EndIf

 

EndFunc   ;==>_GetUTC

 

Sorry - should have used post code ...

So can you add that debug line in your script to get the exact commandline being shelled?

[MikeK6MKF]

I am embarrassed to say that I don't know how.     

Edited March 5, 2015 by MikeK6MKF

[TheSaint]

You are still using the double quote for page= in the wrong place. I thought we'd cleared that up.

Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A page="'& $page &'" "C:\Predictions\UTC_40.pdf"')

It should be

Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "page=' & $page & '" "C:\Predictions\UTC_40.pdf"')

Are you also using a MsgBox to check what $page is?

[MikeK6MKF]

Yes, I stopped thrashing when the page logic started working.   I'll remove them and test it.  Thanks.

[MikeK6MKF]

Both forms of the Run statement produce the same successful result.   Yours is much cleaner, of course, and will go into the code now.   Thank you.

[Jos]

Added 2 debug lines in Case $iMsg = $idAll

...  run it in SciTE and tell us what it shows in the SciTE Output pane.

You probably have to convert $page to Integer, but lets see how the command looks.

You are still using the double quote for page= in the wrong place. I thought we'd cleared that up.

Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A page="'& $page &'" "C:\Predictions\UTC_40.pdf"')

It should be

Run('"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Reader 11.0\Reader\AcroRd32.exe" /A "page=' & $page & '" "C:\Predictions\UTC_40.pdf"')

Are you also using a MsgBox to check what $page is?

I tried it and the syntax was working for me in its original form.

The page logic seems to consistently return correct results.   Now I'm trying to make it more flexible by putting Paths and Directories in variables.

So ... what was the output commandline?

Was it correct?

[MikeK6MKF]

I'm getting more embarrassed by the moment.   I put the ConsoleWrite statement in my code, but haven't a clue where to see the output.

My internet searches lead me to scripts read the STDOUT - Is this way to see it?

No worries, I haven't tried it, but just noticed it had reverted.

Plus, I thought others had indicated this was important.

So alas, no quick easy solution.

Open the script I posted in SciTE and hit F5 to run it.

Select the correct open and you should see the output in the bottom-halve of the screen.
