Missing separator character

[FrenchTroll]

Hello,

I try to run in c++ this command line for autoit :

CreateProcess(0, "AutoIt3.exe /AutoIt3ExecuteLine \"MsgBox(0x0,''AutoIt'',''This is my script.'')\"", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &si, &pi);

This code return : Missing separator character after keyword. It's a problem with the quotation marks but i don't know how to solve this error.

Thanks.

I don't know what Create Process is in C++... but can you try this?

CreateProcess(0, "AutoIt3.exe /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  'MsgBox(0, ''Hello World!'', ''Hi!'')'", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &si, &pi);

or maybe this

CreateProcess(0, 'AutoIt3.exe /AutoIt3ExecuteLine  "MsgBox(0, ''Hello World!'', ''Hi!'')"', 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &si, &pi);

Thanks Nahuel for reply. Already tried and that don't work. C++ is more tricky than autoit

Don't think you need the double '' in there... try:

CreateProcess(0, "AutoIt3.exe /AutoIt3ExecuteLine \"MsgBox(0x0,'AutoIt','This is my script.')\"", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &si, &pi);

I would like to add that the AutoIt3ExecuteLine sample at

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/running.htm

says

To execute a single line of code, use the command:

Run(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteLine "MsgBox(0, ''Hello World!'', ''Hi!'')"')

The tray icon will not be displayed when using /AutoIt3ExecuteLine

NOTE: Correct usage of single- and double- quotation marks is important, even double single.

appears to specifically (and incorrectly) assert that double single quotes are necessary. I'm glad I found this post.

No, it doesn't. It correctly cautions you to use them correctly.

Please don't resurrect old topics like that.
