I have been struggling with a script for days now trying to get the correct syntax for handing off to Powershell from AutoHotkey correct.
I have the gateway command to powershell working great:
| ; Get the default gateway IP address using PowerShell | |
|---|---|
| powershellCommand := Get-NetRoute | |
| ; Execute the PowerShell command and capture the output to a temporary file | |
| RunWait, PowerShell.exe %powershellCommand% 2> %A_Temp%\PowerShellError.txt > %A_Temp%\PowerShellOutput.txt, , Hide UseErrorLevel |
What I am strugglng with is the Test-NetConnection section. I’d like to have a series of ports scanned but right now I just have the array filled with 2 (1 that passes and 1 that fails). If I run my commands manually they work everytime so I know that it is an issue with the way I am handling the variables. I just don’t know what to do.
; Generate the PowerShell command to test the connection to the port and output to a file
powershellCommand := "Test-NetConnection -Port " . port . " -ComputerName " . gateway . " | Out-File -FilePath " . A_Temp . "\PowerShellOutput.txt"
; Execute the PowerShell command
RunWait, PowerShell.exe %powershellCommand%
Any assistance is greatly welcome!
Thanks,
WeirDave
