Re: CommandLine Path

Hi Jim: I have avoided any windows programming but it looks like I can't do 
that anymore. OK, so I am creating a Windoweyes script in VBScript and want to 
access the .net environment. This means com. OK, now I created a dll with 
appropriate settings in VB.net 2008 express and tested the dll from another 
vb.net 2008 express project and it works. Now I have to register the dll using 
regasm.exe. To use  regasm I need to give the Assembly a strong name first 
which is where the sn.exe comes in. Now, I found the exe modules in the 
appropriate file paths which are a little long and have spaces. I tried doing 
run from the start menu and cmd to open a command window then tried to run 
sn.exe but have to change to the proper directory. I tried copying the 
directory, in quotes" from a txt file into the command window following the cd 
command (change directory) and even tried putting the entire file path 
including the executable in the path but I can't seem to paste into the command 
line thingy. It would be better to just have a script or batch file to register 
the dll and put the Assembly in the gac so I don't have to mess with the 
command window. I don't like how it works with windoweyes anyway.
Well, that's it. I am hoping someone has a script or batch file that executes 
something like this so I don't have to fight that cmd window every time I make 
a change to the dll during testing.
I saw a short blurb on using environment variables in a command line but have 
not read up on that yet - another new technical I am hoping to avoid for now, 
phew! So that's my story Jim. If I can't get a batch file or script I might try 
using an environment variable but I would like to keep the entire process of 
developing and testing the com object compartmentalized in program code of some 
sort if possible. That might also give me a running start on deploying the com 
object.

  Hi Rick,

  If you want to just use the path environment variable, it is %path%. If you 
want to add something after it, you would just put a semicolon, then the 
folders you want to use. What are you trying to do?

   

  Thanks.

   

  Jim

  Hi: In Windows XP I am trying to execute sn.exe which is in a long file path 
with spaces. I tried typing cd and then pasting the path enclosed in quotes 
into the command window but the paste does not seem to be working - nothing is 
being pasted. Is there some way to navigate around the command structure 
without having to type everything all the time?

  I am thinking of copy and paste, a batch file or a script or anything that I 
can use over and over without typing my fingers to the bone.

  I don't know whether to try building a batch file or script or whatever to 
just execute this program and others.

  If you have one, a sample would help allot so I can research the technicals 
you used.
