| [SOLVED] Net Use with Spaces | Login/Join |
| Silver Member |
Has anyone managed to get the net use command to work when the file path has spaces in it. I have tried with single quotes around the entire path, double quotes around the entire path and it just won't seem to work. The path location I need to save the file to is below and if I remove the space and replace it with an underscore it works so it definitely seems to be the space causing the problem. CMD net use J: \\TGMO1\CORP_IS\MOIBI\TEST 1This message has been edited. Last edited by: FP Mod Chuck, WF 81.5, Windows7 AS/400 Database. All Outputs | ||

You can try putting the file path in a variable, and then using the .QUOTEDSTRING sufix. For example: -SET &filepath = '\\TGMO1\CORP_IS\MOIBI\TEST 1'; CMD net use &filepath.QUOTEDSTRING Hope that helps. -Emily WF 8.1.05 on Windows machines Backend: Informix, SQL and Oracle databases | |||

There is always an alternate physical name for any directory with a space in it. Issue the following from the parent directory so see it: dir *. /x You can use the alternate name (like: TEST1~1) "There is no limit to what you can achieve ... if you don’t care who gets the credit."

I tried wrapping the path in quotes and I tried Emily's idea of putting it into a Variable first and using QUOTEDSTRING but unfortunately neither works. I think I might have to use a different directory to put it in and then try and call a batch file/external procedure to move it. WF 81.5, Windows7 AS/400 Database. All Outputs | |||

Waz, You are right. It worked with the quotes around it. I had a permissions issue going on. Thanks WF 81.5, Windows7 AS/400 Database. All Outputs | |||
