Hi,

can someone please assist. This is probably easy, but for the life of me, i cannot get the syntax right - i keep getting an "Expected end of statement" error.

i am trying to use the bmailer utility, which is probably irrelevant, but below is the syntax. Can someone point me in the right direction?

sCmd = "bmail.exe -s orion -t to@email.com.au -f from@email.com.au -a "Process missing from Server " & strServer & " - " & strProcess & "" -b "This is the body""

Let me know if you need the full code.

Thanks in advance.

WScript.Echo is your friend....see if this is what you're after...

sCmd = "bmail.exe -s orion -t to@email.com.au -f from@email.com.au -a ""Process missing from Server " & strServer & " - " & strProcess & """ -b ""This is the body"""
WScript.Echo sCmd

Hi dm_4ever,

i tried that. It doesnt run the code. even if i put in "on error resume next" it still throws the error.

I assume there is a quotation mark in the wrong place or missing, but i cannot find where.

thanks

Hi the_apostle21,

perhaps this

http://www.visualbasicscript.com/fb.aspx?m=59828

will give you a starting point.

BTW: To put "On Error Resume Next" into a non working script and hoping to get
better results is like trying to drive your car with closed eyes into your garage,
because you had hit the wall every time when your eyes were open.

Regards

Hi ehvbs,

That helped!! i should have realised, but the error was pointing to the column where the error was occuring. a few tried later and i had it.

Thanks for your help guys!!

P.S. ehvbs - I understand what you mean about the "on error resume next", but i was actually using it to try get the script to parse so i could echo the line to see what the command looked like...but it didnt help!!

Cheers
