Guy's,
This has me puzzled for the last few hours and I just cannot see what is wrong. I want to use finddupe.exe to find duplicate files in a bunch of folders. I use the DirPlus UDF to get a list of of folders in a specific location. These folders can have spaces in the names so I need to preserve those to get correct results. The script below gets me the correct command line results on the screen. I copied and pasted each $shellline in a command windows and all executed correctly. Running them from a script makes finddupe.exe not interpret the redirect to a file correct. It must be something with the quotes but I tried so many variations that I cannot see the correct one anymore.
Code:
Break on
$rc = SetOption("WrapAtEOL", "On")
$folders = dirplus("d:\finddupe\test test\", "/ad")
For Each $folder in $folders
$shellline = 'd:\finddupe\finddupe.exe ' + '"' + $folder + '\**" >"d:\finddupe\duplicates_' + $folder.name + '.txt"'
? $shellline
?
Shell $shellline
Next

I knew it was something stupid. That's what you get for looking at the code waaaaay to long. I knew about %compes% for redirecting output just did not notice the absence of it.
Thanks for the reminder Glenn, all works just fine now.

LOL This one saved my day again. One would assume that this is something easy to remember but I guess memory starts shutting down when the 30's are over LOL
