VBS script with spaces in executable path

[Guest Tyler Durden]

I'm trying to write a vbs to run vncviewer on a relative path. The following

code works, except when the path has spaces:

 

Dim LaunchDir, FSO, WSHShell

Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

LaunchDir = FSO.GetFolder(".")

 

wSHShell.Run LaunchDir & "\vncviewer.exe -notoolbar -autoscaling

myhost.dyndns.org"

 

Where's the error?

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: VBS script with spaces in executable path

 

Path with spaces should be in quotes. So, modify Your last code row:

 

wSHShell.Run """" & LaunchDir & "\vncviewer.exe" & """" & " -notoolbar

-autoscaling myhost.dyndns.org"

 

Something like this, if I wasn't mistaken...

Put quotes around the paths. e.g. "c:\path\...\...\" Then it sees the

entire path, not just part of it.
