brewdude6 brewdude6 Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-10-21 Posts: 280 Loc: Nashville, TN	I'm having issues with trying to shell out to HP's integrated log viewer. Here is the shell statement: Code: Shell "%COMSPEC% /c '$program' /export:$TMPFILE /f:$bugfile" This is what the variables represent: Code: Shell "%comspec% /c 'c:\Program Files\Compaq\Cpqimlv\cpqimlv.exe' /export:C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Big Brother\BBNT\3.01\tmp\tmp.txt /f:C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Big Brother\BBNT\3.01\tmp\tmp1.txt" I'm getting an "incorrect function" error when executing. I've tried changing the input in all manner of ways and haven't had any luck as of yet. Any suggestions? _________________________ I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs. -Mark Twain

brewdude6 brewdude6 Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-10-21 Posts: 280 Loc: Nashville, TN	I was sure that it was the long directory path, and thanks for the tip, but that gets me the same error. I'll keep trying variations...surely I'll hit the right format sooner or later. _________________________ I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs. -Mark Twain

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Assuming the parms are correct, it should go like this: $c = 'c:\Program Files\Compaq\Cpqimlv\cpqimlv.exe' $e = 'C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Big Brother\BBNT\3.01\tmp\tmp.txt' $f = 'C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Big Brother\BBNT\3.01\tmp\tmp1.txt' Shell '%comspec% /c "'+$c+'" /export:"+$e+'" /f:"'+$f+'"' _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

brewdude6 brewdude6 Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-10-21 Posts: 280 Loc: Nashville, TN	If I use this: Code: $c = 'c:\Program Files\Compaq\Cpqimlv\cpqimlv.exe' $e = 'C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Big Brother\BBNT\3.01\tmp\tmp.txt' $f = 'C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Big Brother\BBNT\3.01\tmp\tmp1.txt' $g = 'server1' Shell '%comspec% /c "'+$c+'" /m:"'+$g+'" /export:"'+$e+'" /f:"'+$f+'"' I get an error that indicates the cmd interpreter can't see the complete command because of the space between "program". I redirected the output to a file, cut and pasted the output at the command line and it worked fine. Any ideas? _________________________ I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs. -Mark Twain

Les Les KiX Master Registered: 2001-06-11 Posts: 12734 Loc: fortfrances.on.ca	Maybe there are mismatched quotes elsewhere in the script. Try creating a new scriptlet with just the bare necessities. If that doesn't do it, it could be that the app is sensitive to the current dir which would be different in a DOS box vs. the script. _________________________ Give a man a fish and he will be back for more.

brewdude6 brewdude6 Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2000-10-21 Posts: 280 Loc: Nashville, TN	This works: Quote: Shell '"'+$c+'" /m:$g /export:"'+$e+'" /f:"'+$f+'"' Les, I am using just the basic script suggested earlier. Not sure why omitting %comspec% would cause it to work. I must have a syntax problem still. _________________________ I could have made a neat retort but didn't, for I was flurried and didn't think of it till I was downstairs. -Mark Twain
