[Solved]Paste line of text into a command prompt and run it?

[netmonk99]

Is is possible to use a UVK script to open a command prompt and paste a line of text into it, and then have the script press enter (run)?

Like so...

<UVKCommandsScript>

<RunSfcScan>
<CmdScript>
@echo off
findstr /c:”[SR]” %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >”%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt”

The above snippet should, of course, run SFC and then the line of text should paste the SFC results onto the desktop for easy finding/reading.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Hi netmonk99.

Your code should work fine. However, when I tested it, it didn't work because the double quotes had been modified, probably by copy/paste in the forum.

For instance, the code should be:

Code: Select all

<RunSfcScan>
<CmdScript>
@echo off
findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"

But not:

Code: Select all

<RunSfcScan>
<CmdScript>
@echo off
findstr /c:”[SR]” %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >”%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt”

Do you see the difference in the double quotes?

Just rewrite them in the script and it should be fine.

To debug the result of the cmd commands you can use <RunWait> and cmd /k. e.g.

Code: Select all

<RunWait>
cmd /k findstr /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt"

Hope it helps.

Ohh, okay, I see the difference now. Thanks for pointing that out!

And thanks for making such an awesome program!
