Double quotes on Execute statement

Hi all,

I'm trying to include in EXECUTE double quotes because i need it to perform a correct command in cmd:

I had it :

EXECUTE cmd.exe /C "Application.exe list=$(List) -logsOutput=logs/applog";


and it works perfectly, but if i insert in $(List) a String with space the Application.exe crashes.


I test it on cmd putting:


Application.exe list="String1;String 2; String String " -logsOutput=logs/applog


and it works too, but my problem now is that i don't be able to insert double quotes in EXECUTE statement:

EXECUTE cmd.exe /C "Application.exe list="$(List)" -logsOutput=logs/applog";

PS: I tried with chr(34) too and doesn't works.

Thanks in advance,

BR,

Ivan

Hi,

I did it removing cmd and quotes:


EXECUTE cmd.exe /C "Application.exe list=$(List) -logsOutput=logs/applog";

like this:

EXECUTE Application.exe list="$(List)" -logsOutput=logs/applog;



It works, thanks for the support!

BR,

Ivan.

I think I would try something like this:

let vExecute = '"Application.exe list=' & '$(List)' & ' -logsOutput=logs/applog"';

EXECUTE cmd.exe /C $(vExecute);

What about

EXECUTE cmd.exe /C Application.exe list="$(List)" -logsOutput=logs\applog;

Best,

Or this?

EXECUTE cmd.exe /C "Application.exe list=""$(List)"" -logsOutput=logs\applog";
