[Closed] Long filenames in DosCommand
Jun 04, 2008 5:15 am
Hi All,
scriptdir = GetDir #scripts
hapconvpath = scriptdir + “\Startup\accconv”
DosCommand (hapconvpath + …)
The above fragment of code works fine in 3d studio max 5.0 where the filepath is “C:\3dstudiomax…” but not in 3d studio max 2008 where the path is C:\Program Files… Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this? Please help!

Try something like this:
scriptdir = "\"" + getDir #scripts + "\\startup\\accconv"
cmdStr = scriptdir + ......... + "\""
DosCommand cmdStr
Since the path to your max folder has spaces in it, you need to wrap the whole pathname in quotes for the command-line parser to treat it as a single argument.
