#33738 - 2002-11-29 09:56 PM Run command
ShaneEP ShaneEP MM club member Registered: 2002-11-29 Posts: 2127 Loc: Tulsa, OK	This is probably really easy and Im just overlooking some little detail...But how do you run somethin using the %comspec% variable that has spaces? Example... RUN "%COMSPEC% /c SUBST W: %userprofile%" Trying to subst W: to the user's profile path...But since its Win2000 the profile path has spaces in it. If I try enclosing the %userprofile% in quotes then it ends the RUN command after RUN "%COMSPEC% /c SUBST W: " which also doesnt work too well. Any help would be greatly appreciated... -Shane
