Spaces in wso.run

[Catou]

Why do I get "The system cannot find the...file" for the following line:

wso.run "c:\Users\Katherine Bourget\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\RT_Files\RTP_Office.pdf"

Yet if I plug-in the same in Run in works. Is it the space in the username (%UserProfile%)?

Whitespace is causing the trouble, put double quotes on the path string.

wso.run "c:\Users\Katherine ^ Bourget\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\RT_Files\RTP_Office.pdf

No avail, I still get Cannot find specified file.." with double quotes or double double quotes. Here's the situation:

userProfile = wso.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%userprofile%")

wso.run userProfile & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\RT_Files\RTP_Office.pdf"

Is there a way around this quirk...

What does it show if you echo the string to screen?

e.g.

wscript.echo "That pesky string is" & vbCrLf & "    '" & userProfile & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\RT_Files\RTP_Office.pdf'"

You've not tried to understand what others have advised.

>wso.run userProfile & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\RT_Files\RTP_Office.pdf"
[tt]wso.run [red]"""" & [/red]userProfile & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\RT_Files\RTP_Office.pdf" [red]& """"[/red][/tt]

or equivalently:

[tt]wso.run [red]chr(34) &[/red] userProfile & "\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\RT_Files\RTP_Office.pdf" [red]& chr(34)[/red][/tt]
