I am trying to run an external application from within my c#
application but keep running into this problem. Here's what I did:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start( my.exe, parameters );

my parameters would consists of a path that has spaces in it (ie
C:\Program Files\a\b\c\temp.txt) The problem I run into is that
my.exe would run and exited immediately like the parameters is wrong.
In the DOS shell, when I do this:

C:\Temp\my.exe C:\Program Files\a\b\c\temp.txt

then I would reveive the wrong number of arguments error. But if I do
this:

C:\Temp\my.exe "C:\Program Files\a\b\c\temp.txt"

then my.exe would run perfectly. Now when I try to put in the
quotations around the path with the space in my c# app, I would get an
exception. Is this because of Process.Start() not functioning
correctly or my.exe is not written correctly? Thanks

Just for the record. Process.Start() should not have any problem with
the spaces in parameters. I just put the quotes so that my.exe can
recognize it as one argument. The problem that I had was the path
that I enter is missing a character so the path did not existed.

Dear Sir, I belive you are missing the "@" symbol.

For example:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"c:\nes\nes.exe"); actually opens up my nes.exe file in the folder C:\nes

Hope this helps
