Hello to the unattended community, As I'm neither a great DOS nor perl coder I ran into the following problem, which might be a breeze for someone, who's experienced in perl.
For installing CAD applications I already wrote a DOS batchfile, which I now modified, to use it with todo.pl. First it parses the installation path (as I have more than one according to a few conditions). Depending on the result it sets the install-path variable next and uses it to call the setup at last. In pure DOS everything worked fine. This was the way I tried it in the batch that is called by todo.pl Example: -snip- ----------------------------------------------------------- todo.pl "MSIEXEC /i %INSTALLPATH% /qb- /le+ %LogPath%" todo.pl "IF EXISTS EXAMPLEFILE.TXT SET INSTALLPATH=S:MyInstall\CadVersionNo1\CadProgInst.msi" todo.pl "NET USE S: \\MyServer\CADInstall /persistent:NO" todo.pl "SET LogPath=C:\Install.log" ----------------------------------------------------------- -snap- When I now call this script by todo.pl I see that the space where my variables should be is empty whilst executing. This certainly causes the script to finish without result but some errors. Could anybody help me out and tell me how to change the syntax to get the variables passed and the batchfile running in perl environment ?
