Hi, im trying to make a global command file launcher using AutoIT, I want it to just search for files and then pass them into the run command which hides the command files from launching.

I've got it working on a test setup, kinda. It the command files have not got a space in their name then they will get executed and run, but if they have they won't. I'm sure it is just to do with the run command and the placing of quotes so that the run command ends up having speech marks enclosing the command.

$search = FileFindFirstFile("*.cmd")  

While 1
	$file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
	If @error Then ExitLoop
	
	Run("cmd.exe /c '" & $file & "'", "", @SW_HIDE)
WEnd

; Close the search handle
FileClose($search)

Any help will be appreciated!

You may have better luck with this

$search = FileFindFirstFile('*.cmd')  
If $search <> -1 Then
	While 1
		$file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
		If @error Then ExitLoop
		RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & $file & '"', '', @SW_HIDE)
	WEnd
	FileClose($search); Close the search handle
EndIf

ComSpec likes double quotes, not singles, so using single quotes by default and use double quotes as needed within the string works well.



Also while I'm here, some other variations.

For au3 files (use AutoIt v3.2.0.1 or later)

$search = FileFindFirstFile('*.au3')  
If $search <> -1 Then
	While 1
		$file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
		If @error Then ExitLoop
		If $file = @ScriptName Then ContinueLoop
		RunWait(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $file & '"')
	WEnd
	FileClose($search); Close the search handle
EndIf

or a Multi-FileType

$search = FileFindFirstFile('*.*')  
If $search <> -1 Then
	While 1
		$file = FileFindNextFile($search) 
		If @error Then ExitLoop
		If $file = @ScriptName Then ContinueLoop
		Switch StringRight($file, 4)
			Case '.cmd'
				RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c "' & $file & '"', '', @SW_HIDE)
			Case '.au3'
				RunWait(@AutoItExe & ' /AutoIt3ExecuteScript "' & $file & '"')
			Case '.vbs'
				RunWait(@SystemDir & '\WScript.exe "' & $file & '"')
		EndSwitch
	WEnd
	FileClose($search); Close the search handle
EndIf

Thanks very much, they work great

Knew either you or Nologic would come to my rescue sooner or later.

I'm doing this so that I just add the compiled script to cmdlines.txt and then throw any batch files into said directory and I won't have to update anything.
