Doudle Quote Single Quote with Variable

Hallo to every AutoIt User

I have a little problem using the run command

When I m typing the command like this

run("explorer.exe c:\temp")

everything is ok

But When I m giving

$temp = "C:\temp"

run("explorer.exe" & $temp) or many combinations with single or double quotes I cannot have the same result as the first run hardcoded ...

Any Help Appreciated

Sorry if this is very easy for someone i tried many things before asking

Thaks a Lot

The way you have it written would return run("explorer.exec:\temp") instead of run("explorer.exe c:\temp")

What you want is

$temp = " C:\temp" < note the space

run("explorer.exe" & $temp)

or

$temp = "C:\temp"

run("explorer.exe " & $temp) < space here

Edit, typo

My Friend youknowwho4eva thanks for your quick answer but

It's still not working even i tried the clever thing you proposed

run("explorer.exe c:\temp") opens me the contents of c:\temp directory

$temp = " c:\temp" leaving a space as you said

run("explorer.exe" & $temp) is not working at all

[youknowwho4eva]

All ways worked with me. Even without the space...

[GaRydelaMer]

run('explorer.exe "c:\program files"')

this work fine too

[SilkroakGEEK]

$dir = "C:\WINDOWS\system32"

run("calc.exe", $dir)

this one works for me!

I've personally always used

$temp = "c:\temp"
ShellExecute($temp)

We ll see in the future
