Buttonbar Parameters %P%N - Problem

[SKolb]

Using Directory T:\T T\File.name


? /c /s "K:\My Config\Script.vcf" /p %P%N %PNew.name /r /x

produces

/c /s "K:\My Config\Script.vcf" /p "T:\T T\File.name" T:\T T\New.name /r /x

The Problem is that %P%N produces an expression with "" but %PNew.name produces a expression without ""

I expect this should be same behaviour (but which one ?)

Well it's by design exactly for this case. %P with quotes wouldn't work, since you would get

Code: Select all

"T:\T T\"New.name

and %P%N is with quotes so you don't have to add any. Hence the solution simply is to use

Code: Select all

"%PNew.name"

Due to my opinion ...

Either nowhere "" or "" on the right places everywhere

I understand that current implementation will make it eventaully difficult for solution 2. But this mixture is not very comfortable.

What do others think ?

The way it works right now is the only way it works.

If you enter a file with a space in the name:

Code: Select all

%PMy.Fine New.name

What should TC do ?

Cast it as program call with parameter like:

Code: Select all

"%PMy.Fine" New.name

or

Cast it as full program call:

Code: Select all

"%PMy.Fine New.name"

You are the only one who knows which is the intended version to use... so you have to put quotes at the correct position yourself.

Just put "" yourself where you need them. If you put "%P%N" with "" then TC will not add its own!
