Hi,

I want to execute this command:



The file 1.txt is created with the correct query result. At the cmd promt there is an other info output - perhaps the exe returns an error - I don't know.

Now I want to execute the same command with autohotkey:



I see that the cmd window opens with the query result too but after it closes the file 1.txt was not created. So I need help for the correct syntax to pipe the output into a file.

Thank You.

Hi,

I think your attempt passes the ">" and the "C:\1.txt" as parameters directly to the program.
If you explicit run the cmd.exe it works.

Run

This raises an excellent question that has always bugged me...

Does anyone know the rules or documentation behind HOW THE HECK WINDOWS INTERPRETS RUN STRINGS???

Sometimes when zipping something in a script I'll have to use like

"C:\whatever\wzzip.exe" "New File.zip" "S:\ource\folder\full\path\"

Sometimes it seems to go off without a hitch without quotes, sometimes the whole string needs to be quoted...

Is this specific to what I'm working with? I'd just like to know if this is another insane thing that should be a standard but isn't or if I missed the logic behind what was intended.

Edit: There's actually another thread about almost that same thing! http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79988

Thank you, that works.
