help with run command

[lmilesuk]

Hi,

I'n new to this and am trying to run a program with a working dir

Run ("Ctrl.exe", "\\controlES\Process Repository")

However beacuse the folder Process Repository has a space it won't read it in all it reads is process, how do I input this correctly I've tried ""\\controlES\Process Repository"" but to no avail.

Hi Imilesuk,

please try this: "'\\server\working path'".

Single-quotes in between double-quotes.

Regards,

Hannes

This does'nt seem to work;

Run ("\\ultra02\controlES\Client\Ctrl.exe " ,"'\\ultra02\controlES\Process Repository'")

at all

I think the problem is that Run expects the short names, so you could either try this

Run (FileGetShertName("\\ultra02\controlES\Client\Ctrl.exe ") ,FileGetShortName("'\\ultra02\controlES\Process Repository'"))

or use ShellExecute instead.

ShellExecute ("\\ultra02\controlES\Client\Ctrl.exe " , "", "'\\ultra02\controlES\Process Repository'")
