runwait with Quotes

[goodmanjl531]

Hope someone can help as quotes within quotes is always confusing.  I am creating a silent install of printer software and want to call via runwait comspec line.

The call within a cmd line is below

samsung.exe /s /n"Samsung SL-M3220ND" /p"xxx"

xxx will be stored as a variable  $PrinterIP which would be as example  10.10.10.20    I need to use a variable as i am doign this for a business and need it to be based on the store i install at that has a specific IP range.

 

I started with the below as 2 possibilities but no luck..

RunWait(@ComSpec & "/c " & "samsung.exe /s /n""Samsung SL-M3220ND"" /p""" & $PrinterIP ")



RunWait(@ComSpec & "/c " & "samsung.exe /s /n'Samsung SL-M3220ND' /p'" & $PrinterIP '")

but i cant get it to compile as i have errors on the line..  thanks in advance.

Try this:

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c samsung.exe /s /n "Samsung SL-M3220ND" /p"' & $PrinterIP & '"')

Forgot a whitespace as Jos pointed out. (Oops!)

Moved to the appropriate forum, as the DEV forum very clearly states:

Do not create AutoIt-related topics here, use AutoIt General Help and Support

We even bolded it...

There is information on this in the help file

You guys are missing a space in front of the /c which for sure makes them fail.
