jscript quoting error help?

Hi Anne,



I think wmic chokes on the parentheses in the WHERE clause. Writing it like where (X and Y or M and Q) should work, because AND has higher priority than OR.

A few notes:

- There is no need to wrap the command into the powershell call - wmic is a standard Windows command.

- I wouldn't recommend attempting to terminate TestComplete from a TestComplete script. :) I changed that to AnotherApp.

var oShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell");

var strCmd = "wmic process where" +

  " (CommandLine like '%Higgens%' and name like '%Higgens%'" +

  " or CommandLine like '%AnotherApp%' and name like '%AnotherApp%')" +

  " call terminate";



// Run the command and get the exit code

var res = oShell.Run(strCmd, 0 /* run in background */, true /* wait for completion */);

if (res != 0) {

  Log.Message("WMIC command failed; exit code " + res);

}

Just for completeness: here's a version that uses WMI scripting objects. It's a bit longer, but may be more convenient to use for handling errors and troubleshooting.

var oWMI = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/cimv2");

var colItems = oWMI.ExecQuery(

  "SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE"

  + " CommandLine LIKE '%Higgens%' AND Name LIKE '%Higgens%'"

  + " OR CommandLine LIKE '%AnotherApp%' AND Name LIKE '%AnotherApp%'");

var enumProcesses = new Enumerator(colItems);



var p;

while (!enumProcesses.atEnd()) {

  p = enumProcesses.item();

  try {

    p.Terminate();

  }

  catch (e) {

    Log.Message(

      aqString.Format("Failed to terminate the process '%s' with handle %d. Error %d: %s.", p.Name, p.Handle, e.number, e.message),

      p.GetObjectText_()

    );

  }

  enumProcesses.moveNext();

}
