Subject: How to pass parameters to a windows application
Date: Mon, 02 Aug 2010 00:43:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <E2B92C7CBBA64B158FA61FDD9DDC20BC@phoenix> (raw)

I am at my wits end trying to figure out how to execute this in bash

C:\WINDOWS>cmd /c "start "" "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop\projects\crisfield\trunk\etc""

jpyeron@phoenix /projects/crisfield
$ cmd /c "\"start \"\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\All
Users\\Desktop\\projects\\crisfield\\trunk\\etc\"\""
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

jpyeron@phoenix /projects/crisfield
$ cmd /c '\"start \"\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\All
Users\\Desktop\\projects\\crisfield\\trunk\\etc\"\"'
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

jpyeron@phoenix /projects/crisfield
$ cmd /c '\"start \"\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\All
Users\\Desktop\\projects\\crisfield\\trunk\\etc\"\"'
The network path was not found.

jpyeron@phoenix /projects/crisfield
$ cmd /c "start \"\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\All
Users\\Desktop\\projects\\crisfield\\trunk\\etc\""
# A windows alert box pops up saying \\ The network path was not found.
