Send Event cmd.exe del

[Toni]

Hello, I am struggling to make a send event work and I am running out of ideas so a bit of help is needed

I have a script which will create a file on the desktop and then email it. After it is created I want the file deleted. Here are the steps of the script which deal with this need:

The first one will create the path and filename to be created and then emailed

Set Variable [$file; Value: "filewin:"&Get ( DesktopPath )&Substitute( GetAsText ( Get ( CurrentDate ));"/";"")&"_Report.pdf"]

The second one will create a variable to be used in cmd as parameter for the del command

Set Variable [$filedelete; Value: Replace ( Substitute(  $file;"/";"\\");0;9;"")]

The last one is the send event step

Send Event ["aevt"; "odoc"; "cmd.exe del " &Quote($filedelete)]

Unfortunately this will not do the delete, I see the cmd window with path positioned on local desktop which I have moved on disk D ( D:\Desktop>).

Using data viewer I can see the value of $filedelete variable is correct, if I copy that value and paste it into cmd window the command will execute correctly.

What am I missing? Maybe I need to send the execute command after the line is send (like pressing enter from keyboard if you run the command from cmd)?
