I am rendering an Adobe After Effects Project with Autoit and aerender,
I put this line of code in the console:
aerender -project C:\aeProjects\projekt_1.aep -comp "Main" -output C:\aeProjects\output\asd.avi
Now how can I check if this proccess is done, so that I can resume safely other steps.
At the moment I just put a sleep but that is not a good practice I think.
You can use the ProcessExists function to do this.
Here is a simple example with a timeout option:
MsgBox(64, "RunCmdWait", RunCmdWait("notepad.exe"))
Func RunCmdWait($sRuncmd, $iTimeout = 10000)
Local $iPid = Run(#ComSpec & " /c " & $sRuncmd, #ScriptDir, #SW_HIDE, 6)
Local $hTimer = TimerInit() ; Begin the timer and store the handle in a variable.
While 1
Sleep(250)
;Returns 0 when the process is closed
If ProcessExists($iPid) = 0 Then
SetError(0)
ExitLoop
EndIf
;Returns 1 on time out error
If TimerDiff($hTimer) >= $iTimeout Then
SetError(1)
ExitLoop
EndIf
WEnd
Return #error
EndFunc ;==>RunCmdWait
Here is a example with StdoutRead if you need to read the output:
MsgBox(64, "StdoutRead", GetStdoutRead("dir"))
Func GetStdoutRead($sRuncmd)
Local $iPid = Run(#ComSpec & " /c " & $sRuncmd, #ScriptDir, #SW_HIDE, 6)
Local $sStdoutRead = ""
While ProcessExists($iPid)
$sStdoutRead &= StdoutRead($iPid)
WEnd
Return $sStdoutRead
EndFunc ;==>GetStdoutRead
I would like to convert this cmd command to vb script or powershell
c:\windows\system32\certutil.exe -f -addstore "TrustedPublisher" "Mycert.cer"
My problem is creating the space between "TrustedPublisher" "Mycert.cer"
Thanks
In vbscript strings are enclosed in quotes. To put quotes in a string use "" for each quote.
"""c:\windows\system32\wordpad"" ""c:\windows\win.ini"""
means the string contains
"c:\windows\system32\wordpad" "c:\windows\win.ini"
Use
a function to handle quoting
an array to store the components of the command
Join() to deal with spaces/separators
to build your commandline in a structured way. In code:
Option Explicit
Function qq(s) : qq = """" & s & """" : End Function
Dim aParts : aParts = Array( _
qq("c:\windows\system32\certutil.exe") _
, "-f" _
, "-addstore" _
, qq("TrustedPublisher") _
, qq("Mycert.cer") _
)
Dim sCmd : sCmd = Join(aParts)
WScript.Echo sCmd
output:
cscript 29649158.vbs
"c:\windows\system32\certutil.exe" -f -addstore "TrustedPublisher" "Mycert.cer"
You can try also like this code :
Option Explicit
Dim MyCmd,Ws
Set Ws = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
MyCmd = "c:\windows\system32\certutil.exe -f -addstore "& DblQuote("TrustedPublisher") &" "& DblQuote("Mycert.cer") &""
MsgBox MyCmd
ws.run MyCmd

Hi I cant get the below script ive worked on to pickup the extension of the files, Can any help me out by pointing where I have gone wrong?
dim fileSystem, folder, file
dim path
dim count : count = 0
path = "C:\temp"
Set fileSystem = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set folder = fileSystem.GetFolder(path)
for each file in folder.Files
if file.DateLastModified > dateadd("h", -24, Now) & File.name = "txt" then
count = count + 1
end if
Next
if count < 4 then
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strcommand = "eventcreate /T ERROR /ID 666 /L Application /SO BESROffsite /D " & _
Chr(34) & count & " Files found please check offsite copy " & Chr(34)
WshShell.Run strcommand
wScript.Quit ( 1001 )
Else
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
strcommand = "eventcreate /T Information /ID 666 /L Application /SO BESROffsite /D " & _
Chr(34) & count & " Files found offsite is working fine " & Chr(34)
WshShell.Run strcommand
wScript.Quit ( 0 )
End if
File.name is the full name including the extension, to test for the extension;
if ... fileSystem.getExtensionName(file.name) = "txt" then
You also want the logical And not the bitwise concatenating & in their too.
Alex's answer is the one you want, but just for reference if you were working just with vbs and a string filename, without the filesystemobject collection you could achieve the same via:
Right(strFilename, Len(strFilename) - Instrrev(strFilename, "."))
This essentially finds the position of the final "." in the filename, takes this away from the length of your filename, and then gives you however many character's that equals from the right hand side. This could be amended slightly to use the "Mid" command rather than the "Right" but I don't think it matters too much in a case like this.
I want to be able to run a program through command line and I want to start it with VbScript. I also want to get the output of the command line and assign it to a variable and I want all this to be done silently without cmd windows popping up. I have managed two things separately but not together. Here's what I got so far.
Run the command from cmd and get output:
Dim WshShell, oExec
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set oExec = WshShell.Exec("C:\snmpget -c public -v 2c 10.1.1.2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.6798.3.1.1.1.5.1")
x = oExec.StdOut.ReadLine
Wscript.Echo x
The above script works and does what I want except that cmd pops up for a brief moment.
Here's a script that will run silently but won't grab the output
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Return = WshShell.Run("C:\snmpset -c public -v 2c -t 0 10.1.1.2 .1.3.6.1.4.1.6798.3.1.1.1.7.1 i 1", 0, true)
Is there a way to get these two to work together?
Let me give you a background on why I want do to this. I am basically polling a unit every 5-10 minutes and I am going to get the script to email or throw a message box when a certain condition occurs but I don't want to see cmd line popping up all day long on my computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks
You can redirect output to a file and then read the file:
return = WshShell.Run("cmd /c C:\snmpset -c ... > c:\temp\output.txt", 0, true)
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set file = fso.OpenTextFile("c:\temp\output.txt", 1)
text = file.ReadAll
file.Close
I have taken this and various other comments and created a bit more advanced function for running an application and getting the output.
Example to Call Function: Will output the DIR list of C:\ for Directories only. The output will be returned to the variable CommandResults as well as remain in C:\OUTPUT.TXT.
CommandResults = vFn_Sys_Run_CommandOutput("CMD.EXE /C DIR C:\ /AD",1,1,"C:\OUTPUT.TXT",0,1)
Function
Function vFn_Sys_Run_CommandOutput (Command, Wait, Show, OutToFile, DeleteOutput, NoQuotes)
'Run Command similar to the command prompt, for Wait use 1 or 0. Output returned and
'stored in a file.
'Command = The command line instruction you wish to run.
'Wait = 1/0; 1 will wait for the command to finish before continuing.
'Show = 1/0; 1 will show for the command window.
'OutToFile = The file you wish to have the output recorded to.
'DeleteOutput = 1/0; 1 deletes the output file. Output is still returned to variable.
'NoQuotes = 1/0; 1 will skip wrapping the command with quotes, some commands wont work
' if you wrap them in quotes.
'----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On Error Resume Next
'On Error Goto 0
Set f_objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set f_objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
'VARIABLES
If OutToFile = "" Then OutToFile = "TEMP.TXT"
tCommand = Command
If Left(Command,1)<>"""" And NoQuotes <> 1 Then tCommand = """" & Command & """"
tOutToFile = OutToFile
If Left(OutToFile,1)<>"""" Then tOutToFile = """" & OutToFile & """"
If Wait = 1 Then tWait = True
If Wait <> 1 Then tWait = False
If Show = 1 Then tShow = 1
If Show <> 1 Then tShow = 0
'RUN PROGRAM
f_objShell.Run tCommand & ">" & tOutToFile, tShow, tWait
'READ OUTPUT FOR RETURN
Set f_objFile = f_objFso.OpenTextFile(OutToFile, 1)
tMyOutput = f_objFile.ReadAll
f_objFile.Close
Set f_objFile = Nothing
'DELETE FILE AND FINISH FUNCTION
If DeleteOutput = 1 Then
Set f_objFile = f_objFso.GetFile(OutToFile)
f_objFile.Delete
Set f_objFile = Nothing
End If
vFn_Sys_Run_CommandOutput = tMyOutput
If Err.Number <> 0 Then vFn_Sys_Run_CommandOutput = "<0>"
Err.Clear

I am pretty new to all of this, but I found that if the script is started via CScript.exe (console scripting host) there is no window popping up on exec(): so when running:
cscript myscript.vbs //nologo
any .Exec() calls in the myscript.vbs do not open an extra window, meaning
that you can use the first variant of your original solution (using exec).
(Note that the two forward slashes in the above code are intentional, see cscript /?)
Here I found a solution, which works for me:
set wso = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
set exe = wso.Exec("cmd /c dir /s /b d:\temp\*.jpg")
sout = exe.StdOut.ReadAll
Look for assigning the output to Clipboard (in your first script) and then in second script parse Clipboard value.

Thanks Mark! This solved few days of research on wondering how should I call this from the PHP WshShell. So thanks to your code, I figured...
function __exec($tmppath, $cmd)
{
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$tmpf = rand(1000, 9999).".tmp"; // Temp file
$tmpfp = $tmppath.'/'.$tmpf; // Full path to tmp file
$oExec = $WshShell->Run("cmd /c $cmd -c ... > ".$tmpfp, 0, true);
// return $oExec == 0 ? true : false; // Return True False after exec
return $tmpf;
}
This is what worked for me in my case. Feel free to use and modify as per your needs. You can always add functionality within the function to automatically read the tmp file, assign it to a variable and/or return it and then delete the tmp file.
Thanks again #Mark!

it saves your .bat file to "Appdata of current user" ,if it does not exist and remove the attributes
and after that set the "hidden" attributes to file after writing your cmd code
and run it silently and capture all output saves it to file
so if u wanna save all output of cmd to file just add your like this
code > C:\Users\Lenovo\Desktop\output.txt
just replace word "code" with your .bat file code or command and after that the directory of output file
I found one code recently after searching alot
if u wanna run .bat file in vb or c# or simply
just add this in the same manner in which i have written
I have the following VBScript:
Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
commandLine = puttyPath & "\plink.exe -v" & " -ssh" [plus additional commands here]
Set oExec = Shell.Exec(commandLine)
This causes a DOS window to appear but the output from plink.exe is not displayed. Is there any way to get the DOS window to display this output?
Windows scripting host lacks a system() command so you have to implement your own, IMHO my helper function is superior to stealthyninja's version since it waits for process exit and not just empty stdout and it also handles stderr:
Function ExecuteWithTerminalOutput(cmd)
Set sh = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set exec = sh.Exec(cmd)
Do While exec.Status = 0
WScript.Sleep 100
WScript.StdOut.Write(exec.StdOut.ReadAll())
WScript.StdErr.Write(exec.StdErr.ReadAll())
Loop
ExecuteWithTerminalOutput = exec.Status
End Function
call ExecuteWithTerminalOutput("cmd.exe /c dir %windir%\*")
Try --
Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
commandLine = puttyPath & "\plink.exe -v" & " -ssh" [plus additional commands here]
Set oExec = Shell.Exec(commandLine)
Set oStdOut = oExec.StdOut
While Not oStdOut.AtEndOfStream
sLine = oStdOut.ReadLine
WScript.Echo sLine
Wend
The correct way is :
Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
commandLine = puttyPath & "\plink.exe -v" & " -ssh" [plus additional commands here]
Set oExec = Shell.Exec(commandLine)
Set oStdOut = oExec.StdOut
While Not oStdOut.AtEndOfStream
sLine = oStdOut.ReadLine
WScript.Echo sLine
Wend
Or:
Set Shell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
commandLine = puttyPath & "\plink.exe -v" & " -ssh" [plus additional commands here]
Set oExec = Shell.Exec(commandLine)
WScript.Echo oExec.StdOut.ReadAll
