[RESOLVED] Show All String Characters

[westconn1]

explorer will append (& prepend) quotes to all filepaths containing spaces (only), these will be in your command string

if you are passing multiple files, you can not split on space alone (unless you are sure that there are no spaces within the filepath)

i have posted 2 slightly different codes in the forums, recently, which should be able to return the filenames from the command string, i will see if i can find either

this example is not specifically for command string, but should work

q = Chr(34)
d = " "
myarr = Split(Command, d)
For i = 0 To UBound(myarr)
    If i > UBound(myarr) Then Exit For
    If InStr(myarr(i), q) > 0 Then
        j = 1
        Do
            myarr(i) = myarr(i) & d & myarr(i + j)
            If InStr(myarr(i + j), q) > 0 Then
                myarr(i) = Replace(myarr(i), q, "")  
                For k = i + 1 To UBound(myarr) - i
                    myarr(k) = myarr(k + j)
                Next
                ReDim Preserve myarr(k - 1)
                Exit Do
            End If
            j = j + 1
        Loop
    End If
Next

the other i did, was to do exactly what you are wanting and checked for valid files, do search on command
