Run() problem when path has spaces


 Share

Recommended Posts

The nice part of doing it with the code I gave you is that the Path is only viable while the script is running. It's not a permanent change like our old DOS days when the safest method was to put everything into the Path. I don't think I ever did find a limit to the old DOS Paths though.

Ahh, the wonderful world of a corporate cog.

Corporations are amazing operations and the larger they get the more amazing it is that they are able to exist at all.

I remember years ago when I had several weekly reports to send to Head Office. Along came the inevitable belt tightening and it looked like heads would be rolling at Corporate HQ. What happened? My paperwork load almost doubled overnight because of "If I can generate enough forms that nobody (including myself) understands then they will have to keep me because all of my forms are just too important." mentality. That worked for a couple of months until some of us noticed that one of the new forms was exactly the same as one of the forms we were already doing weekly. That's simple, just copy the first form and send it to two different people. Not so fast! The second form had a different form number and you had to send the right one to the right person.

Now back to our regularly scheduled topic.

Ok - back to topic :)

It took me a while to figure how it might work (trial and error).

I did a test with Notepad exe placed in a folder with a space in the name, and I tried to open a document - also from a similar type of folder.

This is how it worked for me:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & '""d:\spec img\notepad.exe"" d:\spec img\test 2\tt.txt')

based on this result - you might try:

Run(@ComSpec & " /c " & '""c:\my editor\editor.exe"" -1 C:\XXX\YY ZZ\AA_CBBB\my_src.cpp -n143')

It might not work; I can't test it and my "common sense" is telling me that it shouldn't work - but it's worth a try if you want.

@enaiman: and why did you surround it with single quotes AND use double-double quotes?

ConsoleWrite('""c:\my editor\editor.exe"" -1 C:\XXX\YY ZZ\AA_CBBB\my_src.cpp -n143'&@CRLF)
ConsoleWrite('"c:\my editor\editor.exe" -1 C:\XXX\YY ZZ\AA_CBBB\my_src.cpp -n143'&@CRLF)

""c:\my editor\editor.exe"" -1 C:\XXX\YY ZZ\AA_CBBB\my_src.cpp -n143
"c:\my editor\editor.exe" -1 C:\XXX\YY ZZ\AA_CBBB\my_src.cpp -n143
