systemexec.vi input

[Mathan]

Dears,

C:\Documents and Settings\admin\Desktop\devcon\i386

Inside this folder devcon.exe was there.

if we give the command devcon find usb*  it will show all the usb devices attached in the system.

please give a screenshot of how to run this in systemexec.vi

Thanks & Regards,

Mathan

You will get error 267 if the "working directory" input to the System Exec VI is not a valid path to an existing directory. Please double-check your path entry, and also make sure there are no non-printable characters, like extra spaces or carriage returns in the path.

Dear JLV,

Yes your suggestions are correct. The path entry i chosen was wrong and mike's example corrects it.

Thanks,

Glad it works out for you 🙂

It's often the simple errors that we miss..  😉

" ... and also make sure there are no non-printable characters, like extra spaces or carriage returns in the path."

And my rookies look at me crazy when I harp on not using spaces in file specs. Sometimes you just have to protect them from themselves.

Those invisible spaces can be nasty..   is there 1 or 2 spaces??  LOL!

[Ben]

Trailing spaces are the worst!

A - Trailing space in this constant

B- Results in creating folder without trailing space but returns original path WITH trailing space.

C- Archiving distrubutes the files in both version of the folder.

And just for bonus points, Windows will not let you delete a folder with a folder spec. You have to use a DOS command to fix this.
