Hi,
I'm trying to make a batch that write another file and then run it.
the problem is that it write the first line only and ignore the other two lines
I'm using ">>" to write the files
Code: Select all
@echo off
color F5
echo Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") >> "%homepath%\desktop\test.vbs"
echo WshShell.Run Chr(34) & "%systemdrive%\x.exe" & Chr(34), 0 >>"%homepath%\desktop\test.vbs"
echo Set WshShell = Nothing >> "%homepath%\desktop\test.vbs"
pause
call "%homepath%\desktop\test.vbs"
pause
the output file looks like that:
Code: Select all
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
any suggestions... help

Make the first occurrence of ">>" be ">". This means that it will make the file, instead of append to a file that does not exist. Then you can have the doubles:
Code: Select all
echo Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") >"%homepath%\desktop\test.vbs"
echo WshShell.Run Chr(34) & "%systemdrive%\x.exe" & Chr(34), 0 >>"%homepath%\desktop\test.vbs"
echo Set WshShell = Nothing >> "%homepath%\desktop\test.vbs"
By the way, this is a batch forum, not a vb forum. Please post batch file issues, not vb issues. That's why God invented the Visual Basic Forum, so that people don't have to post issues on batch forums.

PS- No offence

It doesn't matter if the file doesn't exist, both ">" and ">>" will create the file if it doesn't exist.

This is more of a batch file issue than a VBScript issue because the VBScript data is inside of a batch file
