Sys.Exec with spaces

[gitoxa]

I'm trying to open up some files using the Sys.Exec command. Problem is, it can't find the file I'm trying to open. I realized that even though the variable with the filename in it had all the info, the Sys.Exec command only took up to the first space. I tested other files in the folder, without spaces, and they worked fine.

Any ideas how to get around this?

yes, you have to put files with spaces in ""s in the string.

So if i wanted to open somthing in notepad with a space in the name i would need to do somthing like this:

Sys.Exec("notepad.exe \"my text file.txt\"")

Assuming notepad.exe is in the systems path and my text file.txt is in the working dir.

The problem was I had it in a variable, and throwing quotations around one didn't seem like the best thing to do.

I got it though

code:

File := "\"" + File + "\""

Did that before putting it into Sys.Exec

Thanks.
