how do i type spaces in DOS path names using cmd via call executable

[Drash]

TestStand 4.1 using call executable to call cmd with the argument expression (slightly edited)

"/C atprogram ... --verify -f C:\\test\\my folder\\map.hex > C:\\TEMP\\result.txt"

I can't use more quotes around "my folder" and my^ folder isn't accepted by atprogram.

Cheers,

can you use single quotes?  Or is that a no go as well for that program?

Hi

To enter a " in the arguments text box you have to enter \" instead:

your string should look like that: 

"/C atprogram ... --verify -f \"C:\\test\\my folder\\map.hex\" > C:\\TEMP\\result.txt"

Hope that helps

I tried single quotes but no joy I'm afraid.  Thanks for the suggestion though.

Many thanks Juergen! I was scratching my head for longer than I'd like to admit on that one.
