Long command strings over RARunandWait

Hang on I fixed the case mismatch on Filehandle and filehandle and it seems to work now. odd behaviour.

Nope, false positive I must have opened it at a convenient time the batch after run now reads

Can I get the carriage return into rafilesave?

When opening this file in Notepad, choose "Unicode" option in the file type and I think it will appear good on your screen.

For carriage return use "\n" for Unix systems and "\r\n" for Windows, for example,

"line 1\nline 2\n"

I am opening it in unicode and no change. Notepad displays it as a series of rectangles, firefox renders it differently.

When I try /r/n as the carriage return it writes out ok (no heiroglyphs) but then when I run the batch the first line is not running, just the exit one.

When you run the batch file manually what is printed to the screen?

It closes itself too quickly to see, if it was running the first line it would take at least 5-10 seconds to run and I would be able to see.

It must be some kind of different character set issue. I'm trying to reproduce it locally on my system.

In a mean time you can try running the batch file like

my_file.bat > my_log.log

This way you don't need to see what is flashing on the screen. You could see it after the run in the output log file.

the pipe gives me

C:\fds\scripts>exit 0

Which is of course the second line.
I think I've found something. When I look in the Hex representation of the batch file I see a hex 00 at the beginning.
When I take the rafilesave out of the creating JAL script that 00 is not produced and running the batch file produces the correct behaviour.

The RAfilesave was in there to supply a blank canvas to the rafileopen and rafilewrites.
How can I remove the batch file either before or after writing it again?

RARunandwait(del /q c:\\fds\\scripts\\sftpop.bat) gives me the old cannot find file error.

You can delete that file using simple RARunAndWait("cmd /C del my_batch.bat", ...

I guess, you could also have a static batch file and just pass the variable parameters such as file names, user, password via command line parameters for the batch
