I am trying to execute a file with parameters using the “system()” function in C++ on Windows, and it works as long as there are no whitespaces in the filename. For parameters, putting double quotes around the string works, but when I try the same with the executable itself, I get the following error:
“the filename,directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect”
Does anyone know how to handle this correctly?
Use a string like this:
cmd /S /C "your entire command line string"See: How do I deal with quote characters when using cmd.exe
