Run .bat file with execandwait() Опции

[neves]

I have very long .bat file with many settings, which STARTS and .exe file. I wanna execute this .bat file using execandwait() function, but it waits for the cmd to be executed and doesn't waits for the script in bat to be executed.
Example:
Lets say I have this test.bat file:

Код

START C:\Windows\NOTEPAD.EXE

With notepad.exe is hard to see the problem, so change the path to any application which loads slower. (Ex: D:\Game\CLIENT.EXE)
Then I start this script:

Код

--lua
wait(1000)
execandwait("D:\\test.bat")

And script stops before the given .EXE is executed.
Does anyone faced this problem and can it be solved?

Код

--lua
exec ("C:\\test.bat")  -- run the application

local handle = nil
while handle == nil do   -- wait for it to open
    handle = findwindow("window name")
    wait (100)
end
log(111)

Script:

Код

--lua
function exec_my_bat (path)
    write ([[D:\app.txt]], "1")
    exec(path)
    while not(s=="0") do s = fileexists ([[D:\app.txt]]);wait(5) end
end
---
exec_my_bat([[D:\test.bat]])
log("Launched!")

This isn't actually waits for the application to load.

Код

--lua
exec ("C:\\test.bat")  -- run the application

local handle = nil
while handle == nil do   -- wait for it to open
    handle = findwindow("window name")
    wait (100)
end
log(111)

Yes, that's a temporary solution, but I'm searching for better way to do it.


I found out that you can run batch script DIRECTLY in cmd.exe.
Is it possible to run the batch script in cmd.exe using exec()?
Something like this:?

Код

exec("cmd.exe", "START C:\Windows\NOTEPAD.EXE")
