Runwait with Comspec and WritetoLog

[Peter2]

I have something like this to call my defined EXE with defined parameters in a loop

Code: Select all

RunWait, %ComSpec% /c color 16 && echo my job is running.... && "%main_exedatei%" "%Config%" 

Works fine, and waits(!!) fine with the next loop.

But when I add an output -option like this

Code: Select all

RunWait, %ComSpec% /c color 16 && echo my job is running.... && "%main_exedatei%" "%Config%" >> "mylog.txt"

then it does not wait - it fires both all commands of the loops without waiting.

Bug or feature?

Works fine:

Code: Select all

RunWait, %ComSpec% /c color 16 && echo my job is running.... && ping bing.com >> "ping.txt"
MsgBox bye

Enclose all the DOS commands in another set of double-quotes:-

Code: Select all

RunWait, %ComSpec% /c "color 16 && echo my job is running.... && "%main_exedatei%" "%Config%" >> "mylog.txt""

Thanks, but it does not work.

Without the output-paraneter ">> d:\mylog.txt" it..
- starts the cmd-window
- sets the color
- starts the exe with the params
- it runs approx. 20 sec and brings some progress-messages to the window
- it closes the window

With the output-paraneter ">> d:\mylog.txt" it..
- starts the cmd-window
- sets the color
- starts the exe with the params
- it runs approx. 1 sec and says "Press any key to continue..."
- it writes ssome internal proframm messages to d:\mylog.txt

You mentioned c:\mylog.txt. Generally Windows does not allow files to be created in the root directory of c:. Try specifying your file in a suitable directory.

My fault - I tried to write the example as simple as possible. I modified the posting above.
But the (not-)writing of the log is not the problem; it influences the "Runwait"-Behaviour.

You’ll need to reveal more of your code and the name of the program you are trying to run if you want more help from the forum.
