OK, I've read your notes for TProcess, I'll give that a try. Thanks.
I have to say that when you have two overloaded declarations for
ExecuteProcess, one with an array of parameters and one with a single
parameter string, it's not clear to me why you then break the single
string into individual parameters, but I'm sure there's some good
reason for it. Maybe that single parameter string form of the command
should be deprecated. I certainly think that the documentation is
directly misleading :-
<paste>
In case ComLine is a single string, it will be split out in an array
of strings, taking into account common whitespace and quote rules.
</paste>
At least IMHO, having to quote the entire parameter string, not just
the value, is anything but "common whitespace and quote rules".
However, thanks again for the assistance, folks. You can be sure this
one has been carefully noted - the idea of needing to wrap parameter
AND value in quotes wouldn't have occurred to me in a month of Sundays.
Brian.
