Hi I needed to make a reference to a path as below. But it seems the space in Program Files trips it. How do I fix this? Note there is no issues when the foldernames are without spaces like in my second example.
not working:
string command = String.Format (@"C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\myfile.ba
woking:
string command = String.Format (@"C:\MyDocuments\Assignme
Full code:
System.Diagnostics.Process
System.Diagnostics.Process
psinfo.FileName =@"C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\BIN\db2cm
string command = String.Format (@"C:\Program Files\IBM\SQLLIB\myfile.ba
psinfo.Arguments = "/W " + command;
psinfo.UseShellExecute = false;
psinfo.CreateNoWindow = true; // try both true or false
psinfo.RedirectStandardOut
psinfo.RedirectStandardOut
ps.StartInfo =psinfo;
bool val = ps.Start ();
ps.WaitForExit ();
int exitcode = ps.ExitCode;
ps.Close ();

Hi,
are you sure it's the space in program files? what error message are you getting if any?
Another way to build your command string would be to use the following:
string pf = System.IO.Path.Combine(Env
string command = String.Format(pf + " {0} {1}", "testparam1", "testparam2");

The problem lies in the spaces which are in the pathname. To be able to do that you must surround the path with double quotes so you will get something like:
string command = String.Format ("\"C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\SQLLIB\\myfile
You cannot use @" here because you need \"
You could also use the ~ notation for the pathname like in C:\Progra~1\... etc..
