Please help the dope

I profess I am a dope.. I am having the hardest time write to a file in a folder that has spaces.. What is the syntax.. I am missing something here.. Also should I use the function writeline or comspec echo as I have been using.. I am trying to write to C:\Documents and Settings\thom.dombrowski and can not.. I can write elsewhere. Thanks in advance from all the other dopes out here.

Re: Please help the dope

Here is it.. It will write to $server and not $local

$serialstring="$SerialNumb2,@userid,@wksta,$ipaddress,$recordate"
$server="@lserver\netlogon\SerialNumbers\$lserver.txt"
$local="C:\Documents and Settings\thom.dombrowski\serialnum.txt"
shell '%comspec% /c ECHO '+$serialstring+' >> $server'
shell '%comspec% /c ECHO '+$serialstring+' >> $local'

Code:

shell "%comspec% /c ECHO " + $serialstring + " >> " + $server
shell "%comspec% /c ECHO " + $serialstring + " >> " + chr(34) + $local + chr(34)

That should do it.

Re: Please help the dope

Asuming that all variables get filled in a part of the script that comes before this part this should do the trick.

Code:


Break on
;
$serialstring = $SerialNumb2+","+@userid+","+@wksta+","+$ipaddress+","+$recordate
;
$local = %userprofile%
$server = @LSERVER + "\netlogon\SerialNumbers\" + $lserver + ".txt"
;
$rc = Open (1, $local + "\serialnum.txt", 5)
$rc = Open (2, $server + $lserver ".txt", 5)
$rc = WriteLine (1, $serialstring + @CRLF)
$rc = WriteLine (2, $serialstring + @CRLF)
$rc = Close (1)
$rc = Close (2)
