Run cmd.exe with specified parametrs from Javascript

Question

Colls, I wrote a script which should:

copy a file from C:\PR\DataFiles\Input\CL_CH5\"+k+"\ext_028042012.dat to C:\PR\DataFiles\Input\ext_028042012.dat - works fine
run cmd.exe with specified command line (p.3)
after runing cmd.exe, script should go to c: disk, than change directory to c:/pr, then write in cmd line «process.bat c:\pr ext_028042012.dat auto» and press Enter.

Code is:

 var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); for (var k = -2; k <= 0; k++) { var out_dir = "C:\\PROBE\\DataFiles\\Input\\CL_CH5"; // now i am copying a ext_028042012 to destination folder fso.CopyFile("C:\\PR\\DataFiles\\Input\\CL_CH5\\"+k+"\\ext_028042012.dat", "C:\\PR\\DataFiles\\Input\\ext_028042012.dat", 1); WScript.Echo(k+"file copied."); /*Block which run cmd window*/ //The following code should open a command window, changes to the path to C:\ , and executes the DIR command. var oShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WScript.Shell"); **oShell.run ("cmd /K cd c:\pr /K process.bat c:\ext_028042012.dat auto");** WScript.Echo(k+ "file proceed!!!");

Unfortunatly, it doesn't work. Script doesn't put command line from p.3 to opened cmd.exe window. Please, tell me where is my mistake. Thank you a lot.

What error you get? And how you run it?

Your command string,

"cmd /K cd c:\pr /K process.bat c:\ext_028042012.dat auto"

looks erroneous. I don't believe you can specify several /K commands like that - and since the meaning of /K is "Carry out the command and continue" never ending the first shell you launch.

Have you tried:

"cmd /K cd c:\pr && process.bat c:\ext_028042012.dat auto"

result: 'The system cannot find the path specified. C:\PR\DataFiles\Input>' - nothing changes =(

Is that error from the fso.CopyFile line, or is something within process.bat? Does the folder exist?

exactly!!! there was problem with in incorrect path. also i should use double slash instead "\". Do you want to let cmd.exe know wait for pressing enter after "c:\pr && process.bat c:\ext_028042012.dat auto"? i try to use \k and \c, but have no effect.
