Create URL of EXE w/ Command Line Parameters

[SleepDepD]

* Sorry if this is the wrong forum--would appreciate the help though... *

I created an EXE that will be stored at a shared location on my company's intranet. I want to add a hyperlink to HTML e-mails for employees to run this EXE. However, the EXE needs a pipe-delimited command line parameter and I can't seem to get that working in the URL. Also, there could be a space in the command line parameter.

To run the program from a command line I would use the following:

\\SERVER1\MyEXE.exe Param1|Param2|[b]Param3 MightHaveASpace[/b]

This is what I tried in the HTML e-mail and it wouldn't work:

...
<A href="file://\\SERVER1\MyEXE.exe?Param1|Param2|[b]Param3 MightHaveASpace[/b]>Run MyEXE</A>
...

Thanks.

Spaces in url links can be replaced with "%20" (with no " char)

I believe you should replace this:

file://\\SERVER1\MyEXE.exe

with this:

file:////SERVER1/MyEXE.exe

That way, you might get it working in more than just IE ;o)

Hope this helps,
