WShell.run problems 1

[bertieuk]

I am writing a script to automatically run a set of Legato external commands

I am using:

retcode = Wshell.run ("%comspec% /C nsrmm -s""backup-server1"" -d -S" & idlist(0) "/" & idList(1)", 1, TRUE)

The idlist array holds a pair of id numbers. Therefore idlist is a variable. I am having trouble with the syntax and mixing the command with variables. I am using two double quotes to delimit the double quote mark.


I am trying to represent running the equivilent command line:

nsrmm -s"backup-server1" -d -S 1234567/6543216

Thanks

Si

Hello bertieuk,

It is like this.
retcode = Wshell.run ("%comspec% /C nsrmm -s""backup-server1"" -d -S[COLOR=red yellow] [/color]" & idlist(0) [COLOR=red yellow]&[/color] "/" & idList(1)[COLOR=red yellow],[/color] 1, TRUE)

regards - tsuji

Would there be any benefit using the Exec method of WshShell and get rid of %comspec%.

ie objShell.Exec "nsrmm -s""backup-server1"" -d -S" & idlist(0) & "/" & idList(1)


Would this work?

bertieuk,

If the .run line works for you, no reason to use .exec. It is not a superior/inferior competition relation between them. If you use .exec behaving like .run with true bWaitOnReturn, then you have to control the status property of the object returned by the .exec. (Your line is not good enough. Check out the documentation.)
