Run Help With Quotes

[tiger223]

$CmdLine[0] = 1

$VAR = $CmdLine[1]

if $CmdLine[0] > 0 then

Run("C:\param.exe "test - " & $CmdLine[1] & " " "keys" , "", @SW_HIDE)

endif

My param.exe takes paramters like this (with the quotes)

param.exe "test - Cmdline1" "key blah"

how would i add quotes within quotes to the Run Command.

2 options:

Run("C:\param.exe ""test - " & $CmdLine[1] & " ""keys" , """", @SW_HIDE)

or

Run('C:\param.exe "test - ' & $CmdLine[1] & ' "keys" , '"', @SW_HIDE)

Thanks I did as you said, although i do get Invalid workingdir error, was there something wrong with it?

I tried both methods.

You don't need quotes in working directory, you can leave blank.

the thing in commas right before @SW_HIDE

Run('C:\param.exe "test - ' & $CmdLine[1] & ' "keys" ', '', @SW_HIDE)

not sure if you are missing anything else though like where you want the other "

Run('C:\param.exe "test - ' & $CmdLine[1] & '" "keys" ', '', @SW_HIDE)

Normally you would have matching number of "

edit...

Normally you would have an even number of "

Run('C:\param.exe "test - ' & $CmdLine[1] & ' "keys"' , '', @SW_HIDE)
