VB Script and filename with space

Question

Hi

I wrote a VBS file to open the "6 May" folder with following content

path = "F:\Test\2010\May\6 May"
Set Sh = CreateObject("WSCript.Shell")
Sh.Run ""path"",3,True
Set Sh = Nothing 

However on executing this I am getting following error

Windows Script Host

Script: F:\Sperry\2010\May_06 May\open.vbs Line: 4 Char: 10 Error: Expected end of statement Code: 800A0401 Source: Microsoft VBScript compilation error

---

OK

Can anyone help me in this?

Answer 1

mmm?

path = "F:\Test\2010\May\6 May"
Set Sh = CreateObject("WSCript.Shell")
Sh.Run """+path+""",3,True
Set Sh = Nothing 

Answer 2

Your ""path"" syntax is incorrect. To concatenate strings in VBScript, you need to use the & operator. Also, to specify a quote character as part of the string, you need to double it. So, your script should look like this:

path = "F:\Test\2010\May\6 May"
Set Sh = CreateObject("WSCript.Shell")
Sh.Run """" & path & """", 3, True
Set Sh = Nothing
