Hi,
I'm currently having the following problem/question: In a Shell/Batch command build step, I would like to execute this: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\VBP Updater\\VBPUpdater.exe" -c"C:\\SVN\\svn\\AutomatedBuild\\AutomatedBuild 2.0\\VBPUpdaterBinaryCompatibilitytrue.ini" "C:\\SVN\\svn\\AutomationSuite\\src\\License\\ObjectHandler\\CtHandler.vbp.template" When I run the config, I get an error message: Failed to run command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VBP Updater\VBPUpdater.exe" "-cC:\SVN\svn\AutomatedBuild\AutomatedBuild 2.0\VBPUpdaterBinaryCompatibilitytrue.ini" C:\SVN\svn\AutomationSuite\src\License\ObjectHandler\CtHandler.vbp.template The problem is, that the command line switch "-c" is INSIDE the double quotes: "-cC:\SVN\svn\..." This is wrong. What I would like to achieve is: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VBP Updater\VBPUpdater.exe" -c"C:\SVN\svn\AutomatedBuild\AutomatedBuild 2.0\VBPUpdaterBinaryCompatibilitytrue.ini" C:\SVN\svn\AutomationSuite\src\License\ObjectHandler\CtHandler.vbp.template When I put a space between -c and "C:\...", I get Failed to run command: "C:\Program Files (x86)\VBP Updater\VBPUpdater.exe" -c "C:\SVN\svn\AutomatedBuild\AutomatedBuild 2.0\VBPUpdaterBinaryCompatibilitytrue.ini" C:\SVN\svn\AutomationSuite\src\License\ObjectHandler\CtHandler.vbp.template Now the quotes are AFTER the "-c" (which is somewhat correct, but the space char is unwanted). How can I resolve this issue? Greetings, Michael |

When interpretes command, QB assumes that arguments without spacing is a single argument. To avoid this issue, you may put your command in a batch file, and call that batch file instead. |

Oh, I see.
Of course I can create a batch file to do the job, but that's making it more complex than it could have been. Can you implement some sort of escaping or some special characters one can use to avoid standard behaviour? C:\my\program.exe -c"hello" ---> C:\my\program.exe "-chello" C:\my\program.exe &{-c}"hello" ---> C:\my\program.exe -c"hello" Greetings, Michael |
