Could you give an example of the commands you want to run?
Regards.

if you want to execute a shell command, start command.com with RunProgram and pass the command as Parameter$.
if you want to execute batch files, start them with RunProgram.

Hello thanos, thanks for your reply!
Examples of commands:
> Create a local user with password:
net user USER PASSWORD /add /expires:never
> Add user to a group:
net localgroup GROUP USER /add
> Create a registry key:
reg add "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Example" /v VALUE /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f
> Query Services:
sc query SERVICE
Now I thought of one thing... I can use the "OpenFile" to run the command and use the parameters... i will test this now!
because the commands "NET" "REG" and "SC" is files on C:\Windows\System32

Just a snippet, if the PATH includes the reg.exe directory:
Code: Select all
Param$ = "ADD " + Chr(34) + "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Example" + Chr(34) + " /v VALUE /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f"
Result = RunProgram("reg", Param$, "")
Debug Result
if it is not in the PATH you should add the directory which contains the reg.exe:
Code: Select all
Param$ = "ADD " + Chr(34) + "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Example" + Chr(34) + " /v VALUE /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f"
Result = RunProgram("reg", Param$, "C:\Windows\System32")
Debug Result

" I need create a variable...
Thanks for this information!!
Only a question:
on the code below, the
,"" is the path correct? (C:\Windows\System32 by default)
Code: Select all
OpenConsole()
PrintN("Query the service BROWSER")
RunProgram("sc.exe", "query browser","")
input()
End

No. I think that the "WorkingDirectory" is the program's directory by default.
If you want to run the sc.exe, the file must be either in the program's directory or in one of the PATH's directories.
Otherwise you must include the directory in the WorkingDirectory parameter. E.g. The directory which contains tour program is the C:\CodeBase and the sc.exe is in the C:\Haruks directory which is not included in the PATH variable:
Code: Select all
RunProgram("sc.exe", "query browser", "C:\Haruks")

Code: Select all
ImportC "msvcrt.lib"
system(str.p-ascii)
EndImport
OpenConsole()
system("echo oh hai")
system("pause")
That oughta do it. Now you can issue your commands directly as if you would type them into a command prompt window.

Humm... don't need use the path C:\windows\system32 for run a command... so, when i use the "RunProgram" this is equal if I use the "Run" (of the windows: start>run) but we can use many options!! (run hide for example...)

Ual! Thanks a lot!!!!
one question about this lib.. Can I run command with this lib without show any screen?
for example:
RunProgram("sc.exe", "query browser","",#PB_Program_Hide)

If you can live with a short pop-up of the console window, you can use this:
Code: Select all
ImportC "msvcrt.lib"
system(str.p-ascii)
EndImport
a$ = Space(500)
If OpenConsole()
If GetConsoleTitle_(@a$, Len(a$))
ShowWindow_(FindWindow_(0, a$), #SW_HIDE)
EndIf
system("sc query browser")
EndIf
