Running an .exe file with spaces in file path...

Hi,
Found this code online and thought it might help people in this forum. Deals with the error "cannot find specified file" issue when trying to run a .exe file when there are spaces in the file path.
 

 Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
wshshell.run """C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe""", 6, True
set wshshell = nothing 

 
Use 3 quotes.
can't find the site where i got this from, otherwise would put in source.
for the run method arguments visit - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d5fk67ky(v=vs.85).aspx
 

Take a look at this "How to Quote Like a Pro"
and your source become like that:
 
Function qq(strIn)
qq = Chr(34) & strIn & Chr(34)
End Function


Set wshShell = WScript.CreateObject ("WSCript.shell")
wshshell.run qq("C:\Program Files\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe"), 6, True
set wshshell = nothing
 
 
 

thanks for sharing, but that was not my source. it was an external site, otherwise i would not have posted it on this site.
Note the code i pasted has 3 quotes """path""" and the one you pasted has ("path").
