Re: 1.7.1: Problem with cygstart and arguments containing spaces



Charles Roper a Ãcrit : <snip>
The thing is, if there is a space in the path after the -d switch, the argument doesn't work correctly:

$ cygstart "D:/Software/Console2/Console.exe" -d "C:/Program Files"

$ cygstart "/cygdrive/d/Software/Console2/Console.exe" -d "C:/Program Files"

Neither of those will yield a Console at the correct directory; instead, Console defaults to its installed location.

Is this an issue with cygstart, or should I be looking at Console itself as the culprit here?

Hi,


cygstart --wait /system32/cmd /c "echo 1 2&pause" works
open up a windows cmd w/ "1 2" inside, then pause
so, the problem seems to be Console itself ?

Regards,

Cyrille Lefevre
