Escape double quotes in string

[vilbur]

Hello and please,

is there any way how to escape double quotes in string ?

For example:

[ShellExecute, “start “C:\Foo Bar\file.exe”” ]

or

[ShellExecute, “start C:\file.exe “Parameter with whitespace”” ]

I can not find word about it on whole internet.

Have you tried this :
[IButton,“path”,“path”,

[ShellExecute,[strmerge,"start notepad.exe ", "C:\...Yourpath...\Desktop\tmp\test.txt"] ]

,150,50]

Yes I tried,

but problem is whitespace in path, it should not occur anywhere, but when system paths starts with “Programs Files”…

I tried escape it with “”" “”" ‘"’ “’” “”"" “’”, and my fantasy ends here.

‘ShellExecute’ is one line code, and does not need use ZFileUtils64.dll.

I can run external file via ZFileUtils64.dll, but I can`t find how to pass parameters.

Question: How to call exe file with path that contain space?

You need to put the path in quotes: "C:\Program Files\Character Creator.exe" Sometimes you might need to use the [StrMerge] command, in which case it can simplify things to use the ascii value for the double quotes: [VarSet,pathToExeFile,[StrMerge,[StFromAsc,34],"C:\Program Files\Character Creator.exe",[StrFromAsc,34]]]
