Re: AW: How to pass a path with spaces to windows shell start?
Because you need to wrap the part with a space in quotes, and the first quoted item in the string is taken as a console window title, you need to add an empty pair of quotes to be the title which is then ignored and the second quoted string (your program path) will be executed. get shell (start quote quote quote tProg quote) should work.

Hi SparkOut, Because you need to wrap the part with a space in quotes, and the first quoted item in the string is taken as a console window title, you need to add an empty pair of quotes to be the title which is then ignored and the second quoted string (your program path) will be executed. get shell (start quote quote quote tProg quote) should work. Ah, cool, I was also having trouble with this and could never find out why :-) Thanks for this extremely useful hint!

How to pass a path with spaces to windows shell start?
Hello, Once again for the windows guys: how do I pass a path with spaces, like .\program files\... to a windows shell start? get shell(start tProg) works fine, as far as tProg has no spaces. When using e.g. C:\program files\foo, windows sees only C:\program as the first parameter (the prog to be started). Setting the whole path into quotes doesn't works either, because that would be a window title for the start command. Hmmm must be something very basic what I don't see.

RE: Shell start with value
Thanks for the reply, Hey gave this a try, and tried some variations of it and still what I get is, windows cannot find IPLoc , thinks its and executable. I removed the location string and put the executable (setx.exe) in a path folder. Should have just said the commmand I'm trying to run from the command line is: setx IPLoc tIPadd -m IPLoc is just a descriptive word to represent the IP location and tIPadd is the string with the captured ip address in it. The environment result from runnng set at the cmd window would look: IPLoc=192.168.1.1 Thanks Michael On Tue, 2005-07-26 at 06:47 +0200, MisterX wrote: for one, if there is a space in location, this will fail.

RE: Shell start with value
For most shell batches, if found it extremely useful to 1 test it in a real batch... this proves the shell command HAS to work 2 put the whole shell command into a variable - this makes it easier to debug... 3 Always enclose the paths (or verify that it needs) with quotes. The verification is real easy: if there is a space in mypath or is in mypath then quoteit(mypath) Last but not least, and this is a real tough one to find: make sure that the directory is a valid path before launching your shell. hope that gets you going! cheers -=- Xavier Bury [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote on 27/07/2005 12:22:14: Ok should have given it 10 more minutes, Now I'm seeing it ! got the line to work thanks for the direction, got it this way, put setx iploc quote tiPadd quote -m into sSetenv get shell (sSetenv) set the hideConsoleWindows to true Thanks !!

shell start
You'll need to separate that into two different lines. Try putting a return after myLocation. If you're still having problems, I've found that sometimes if you write all the shell data to a temporary .bat file it will work better. That way also you can debug by examining the .bat to make sure the commands look right. A tip:If myLocation isn't on the same drive as the SBUnet.exe program, your shell might not work. The cd command will change the directory but *not* the drive. This used to drive me nuts. -Ben Can anyone please tell me why this isn't working... get shell(cd myLocation start SBUnet.exe quote targetURL quote) I'm trying to launch another instance of my program, with the URL I supply.
