Question

I have a VB script that takes in several parameters that could include spaces using cscript, and I make the call using:

nsExec::exec 'cscript.exe "$PATH_TO_FILE\program.vbs" "Something with spaces" "Something else"'

Now, I want one of the “Something else” strings to include a double quote character, where the string is

Something " else.

I have tried

nsExec::exec 'cscript.exe "$PATH_TO_FILE\program.vbs" "Something with spaces" "Something "" else."'

with an escaped ” but that did not work, it simply used “Something else” as the string passed in.

Basically, there is not a way to deal with these quotes, so you need a workaround (use QUOTE and then replace in program with a ‘).
