Re: STRPCCMD -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

Jim, it's the space in the directory name. Note the message in the command prompt that pops up:

'C:\My' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Try

STRPCCMD PCCMD('"C:\My Documents\test.txt"')

I am surprised that the second one works, because of the space, again. Also, in a command prompt, this works:

C:\"My Documents"\test.txt

but not

STRPCCMD PCCMD(C:\"My Documents"\test.txt)

So quote the whole command when there are spaces.

In trying to setup some the STRPCCMD on our pc's using the 3 processes below(preferable the 3rd) some of the pc will process using all 3 methods and some will only work using the first 2 methods. Does anyone have any idea why options 3 will work on some pc's and not others. Must be a switch to set on or off somewhere.

STRPCCMD PCCMD('C:\windows/notepad.exe')

STRPCCMD PCCMD('C:\windows\notepad.exe C:\My Documents\test.txt')

STRPCCMD PCCMD('C:\My Documents\test.txt')

The first 2 will execute but the 3rd will not make file association using STRPCCMD but will outside of STRPCCMD just fine.

Anyone have any idea.

Thank You In Advance
