Question

I am trying to use a String.Format to create the following string

2MSFX.exe “C:\Users\Avidan\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\DefferedRenderer\DummyGame\DummyGameContent\Shaders\Clear.fx” “C:\Users\Avidan\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\DefferedRenderer\DummyGame\DummyGameContent\Shaders\Clear.mxfb”

so i am trying to use String.Format, but i just can’t seen to get my head around it for some reason 😐

The code is (where last 2 params are String.Empty):

 String outputFile = Path.Combine(destDir, Path.ChangeExtension(Path.GetFileName(fxFile), "mgxf"));
 String command = String.Format("\"{0}\" \"{1}\" \"{2}\" \"{3}\"",  Path.GetFullPath(fxFile),  Path.GetFullPath(outputFile), DX11Support, DebugSupport);

                var proc = new Process
                {
                    StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
                    {
                        FileName = MGFXApp,
                        Arguments = command,
                        UseShellExecute = false,
                        RedirectStandardOutput = true,
                        CreateNoWindow = true
                    }
                };

But that appears to be giving me
\”C:\Users\Avidan\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\DefferedRenderer\DummyGame\DummyGameContent\Shaders\ClearGBuffer.fx\” \”C:\Users\Avidan\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\DefferedRenderer\DummyGame\DummyGameContent\Shaders\MGFX\ClearGBuffer.mgxf\” \”\” \”\”

If i use the verbatim string i can’t get it to create the string i want.

Any Ideas?
Thanks.

Update

You should use String.Concat().

String.Concat("\"", Path.GetFullPath(fxFile), "\" " , Path.GetFullPath(outputFile), "\" " DX11Support,"\" " ,DebugSupport, "\"")
