Trying to use tscon.exe with variable password

[caffeinatedcoder]

I'm trying to to the tscon.exe application to unlock my computer from my phone. It will work when I have my password hard-coded into the command line options:

Code: Select all

1 /dest:console /password:(my hard-coded password)

(Disable parsing of string is checked).

But it won't work when I try to use a variable in place of my hard-coded password like so:

Code: Select all

1 /dest:console /password:{eg.event.payload.arcomm}

(Disable parsing of string is checked).

Does anyone know if there is a way to make this command line statement work with a variable? I've also tried setting the {eg.event.payload.arcomm} variable to a global eg variable, flashed it using OSD action to confirm the password was there, then used the eg variable, but it still didn't work.

Well, you can't disable parsing if you want parsing.

ok we are going to make this nice and easy. if you create the action the way you want then right click it and in the context menu click on "copy as python"

then create a new action for a python command. and paste into that..

there you will see the specific python call that is made for the action. what you will need to do is to remove the {whatever the variable is} and after the single quote put a + and then the name of your variable..


then save that action. and delete the old action. and run the macro. this should fix the issue.

it should look similar to this when done...

Code: Select all

eg.plugins.System.Command(u'"c:\\whatever\\the\\path\\is\\ tscon.exe" /dest:console /password:' + SOME_VARIABLE_NAME, True, False, u'', True, False, False)
