[NAnt-users] Directory paths with spaces

[Jay Williams]

Hi,   I need to call devenv directly from within my nant script, but the call won’t work since there are spaces in the file path (it’s located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE). How do I specify for there to be double-quotes within the call? I used to just allow the call to find devenv from the environment path, but now we have VS 2003 and VS 2005 on our build box, so I need to distinguish between the two.   I need to do the following:   <exec program="cmd.exe" commandline="/c C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv ${source.code.folder}\mobilens.sln /rebuild Debug" />   I get an error because nant tries to execute something like “c:\program” which doesn’t work, of course. How do I get double-quotes into the path? I want it to do something like:   (command prompt example—this works from a command prompt, so nant needs to output the command with double-quotes around it) C:\>”C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\devenv” e:\web\mobilens.sln /rebuild Debug   Thanks in advance!
