Passing Quotes In A String.

[Matthew VanDerlofske]

Having an issue with spaces when calling a program. to resolve I need to put quotes around a string. How do I do that.

Here is my code:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate(" My GUI input acceptfile", 320,120, @DesktopWidth/2-160, @DesktopHeight/2-45, -1, 0x00000018); WS_EX_ACCEPTFILES

$file = GUICtrlCreateInput ( "", 10, 5, 300, 20)

GUICtrlSetState(-1,$GUI_DROPACCEPTED)

GUICtrlCreateInput ("", 10, 35, 300, 20) ; will not accept drag&drop files

$btn = GUICtrlCreateButton ("Ok", 40, 75, 60, 20)

GUISetState ()

$msg = 0

While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE

$msg = GUIGetMsg()

Select

Case $msg = $btn

exitloop

EndSelect

Wend

Run("C:\DOCSTAR\DSCLIENT.EXE " & GUICtrlRead($file))

The issue is that if a files location has spaces it will not work. I need to put quotes around the file path.

Run('C:\DOCSTAR\DSCLIENT.EXE "' & GUICtrlRead($file) & '"')

i use

$file = FileGetShortName("C:\DOCSTAR\DSCLIENT.EXE " & GUICtrlRead($file))

Run($file)

8)

i use

$file = FileGetShortName("C:\DOCSTAR\DSCLIENT.EXE " & GUICtrlRead($file))

Run($file)

8)

FileGetShortName() fails to convert 2 files at once to shortname. I believe you just wanted to use it on the GUICtrlRead() only.
