Question

I am getting some odd results when trying to run a process from a string:

                    Process p = new Process();
                    p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "dump";
                    p.StartInfo.FileName = s;
                    p.Start();

s = run.exe “mp4:production/CATCHUP/”

I am getting odd results such as:

"test.exe \"mp4:production/CATCHUP/\""

Obviously when this command executes, it throws an exception, how can I get rid of all of the backspaces?

Answer 1

May be I understand your problem. At least looking on your code, it seems to me that you pass like a p.StartInfo.FileName=s, where s="test.exe **\"mp4:production/CATCHUP/\"**"
where part in bold is an argument for executable, which is wrong

Try to do something like this:

  Process p = new Process();
  p.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = "dump";
  p.StartInfo.FileName = "test.exe"; // only executable name run or test???
  p.StartInfo.Arguments = "mp4:production/CATCHUP/"; //only arguments
  p.Start();

Regards.

EDIT

Good notice that in code presented run.exe became accidentially test.exe +1 for @Hans
