Button bar parameters - %P %T options

[emanresu1234]

Hello,

The %P and %T command line parameters are not surrounded by quotation marks, so source/target directories with spaces cause problems.

e.g.
A button set up to perform a copy with HoboCopy has parameters which look as follows:

Code: Select all

%P %T %S

The expected generated command line should be:

Code: Select all

HoboCopy.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\" "D:\temp\" filename.tmp

which tells HoboCopy to copy the file filename.tmp from C:\Documents and Settings\User\Local Settings\Temp\ D:\temp\ filename.tmp to D:\temp\

However, due to the source/target directories not being surrounded by quotes, the command that is effectively run is:

Code: Select all

HoboCopy.exe "C:\Documents" "<HoboCopy location dir>\and\" filename.tmp

As you know, wrapping the %P/%T in quotes does not work.

Thanks

Hmmh.

"%P" "%T" %S

works here as expected.

My bad...it turns out the actual problem lies with HoboCopy itself...

(Actually, more the way parameters pass through argv. It's the trailing '\' on %p and %T that causes the problem. Adding an extra '\' to the end fixes the problem.

e.g. "%P\" "%T\" %s works...


Apologies for time wasted.

Thanks
