What is it you are trying to achieve? Trying to create and run a batch file What is the problem you are having? Turing always tells me that it fails Describe what you have tried to solve this problem Sys.Exec Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)
Please specify what version of Turing you are using 4.1.1 |

Spaces in directory names are usually a bad plan. Try on a batch file in a directory without spaces anywhere in the path, such as C:\compile_tools\run.bat . Also, errors don't have to be unknown. Turing has some facilities to track the current error. |

Dunno if it works in Windows, but if you want a space in a directory, you can escape it with a slash in front of it. Since this isn't escaping in Turing, you have to escape the slash for turing. So, "\\ " [edit] Disregard that. Backslash is the directory separator in Windows, so that won't work. There's probably some way to do it though. |

it works when writing, moving, deleting files, but spaces are not allowed in Sys.Exec |
