neverasunset Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Hi all,I'm trying to open a file using the Run function and an error message pops up with garbled messages so I wouldn't have an idea that its trying to tell me BUT I'm guessing that it's trying to tell me that there shouldn't be a blank space in the path name...Question is, how should I write it if that space is the source of the error?Run("D:\Games\Perfect World\elementclient.exe")Thanks in advance!

PsaltyDS Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hi all, I'm trying to open a file using the Run function and an error message pops up with garbled messages so I wouldn't have an idea that its trying to tell me BUT I'm guessing that it's trying to tell me that there shouldn't be a blank space in the path name... Question is, how should I write it if that space is the source of the error? Run("D:\Games\Perfect World\elementclient.exe") Thanks in advance! Run() does not have a problem with spaces in the path. More likely it wants a working directory: Run("D:\Games\Perfect World\elementclient.exe", "D:\Games\Perfect World") If you did have something that was sensitive to complex paths (i.e. CMD shell commands) then you would convert them to 8.3 format with FileGetShortName(). For example, "D:\Games\Perfec~1\elemen~1.exe". See help file. >_< Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...
