#153957 - 2005-12-22 11:40 PM RD from Shell
cyri cyri Getting the hang of it Registered: 2005-06-27 Posts: 95	I'm trying to Shell the RD command but it doesn't function the way I am expecting. My code is simple: Code: SHELL 'RD /S /Q "\\server\apps1$\test"' Why won't that code work? I get an error #2 "The system cannot find the file a specified. Yet I copy out the command from my script and paste into cmd line and it works great. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here. I saw some posts on the beta board about the RD in kix. Hope that gets revamped soon.
