AHK V2: Need different pairs of quotes in Run()? Topic is solved

[SAbboushi]

The two ways I've found that work as an expression for Run():

Code: Select all

Run('"J:\StandaloneApps\AutoHotkey - 2018_05_17 v1\AutoHotkeyU64.exe" "2018_06_24 Run command, passing parameters (2 of 2).ahk" "QIE"')

Code: Select all

	AppExe 		:= '"J:\StandaloneApps\AutoHotkey - 2018_05_17 v1\AutoHotkeyU64.exe"'
	AppDoc 		:= '"2018_06_24 Run command, passing parameters (2 of 2).ahk"'
	AppParams 	:= '"QIE"'
	Run(AppExe ' ' AppDoc " " AppParams)

1) Wondering why the second example requires different pairs of quotes between the variables in order to work? I find it can either be

Code: Select all

Run(AppExe ' ' AppDoc " " AppParams)

or

Code: Select all

Run(AppExe " " AppDoc ' ' AppParams)

2) Is there another way to do this?

different way:

Code: Select all

Run("
(Join`s
	"J:\StandaloneApps\AutoHotkey - 2018_05_17 v1\AutoHotkeyU64.exe"
	"2018_06_24 Run command, passing parameters (2 of 2).ahk"
	"QIE"
)")

I'm not sure what you mean. It also works with the same pairs of quotes.

Is there another way to do this?

Code: Select all

MsgBox "`"J:\StandaloneApps\AutoHotkey - 2018_05_17 v1\AutoHotkeyU64.exe`" `"2018_06_24 Run command, passing parameters (2 of 2).ahk`" `"QIE`""

Code: Select all

static q := Chr(0x22)

Code: Select all

Run(q "J:\StandaloneApps\AutoHotkey - 2018_05_17 v1\AutoHotkeyU64.exe" q A_Space q "2018_06_24 Run command, passing parameters (2 of 2).ahk" q " " q "QIE" q)

One key to better understanding is to observe the difference between what you physically write into the file, and what the function receives.

Code: Select all

	AppExe 		:= '"J:\StandaloneApps\AutoHotkey - 2018_05_17 v1\AutoHotkeyU64.exe"'
	AppDoc 		:= '"2018_06_24 Run command, passing parameters (2 of 2).ahk"'
	AppParams 	:= '"QIE"'
	MsgBox(AppExe ' ' AppDoc " " AppParams)

If you run this, you will see that there is only one type of quote mark being received by the function.

Thanks folks - I'm clear now!
