Word command-line-arguments space issues

Question

I want to pass parameters to winword in order to read it in my vsto addin by using Environment.GetCommandLineArgs().

If a parameter-value contains a space I'm not able to escape the strings.

This is working:

winword.exe /myVar1:C:\folder\whatever1.doc /myVar2:C:\folder\somethingelese.txt C:\example.doc

This is not working:

winword.exe /myVar1:"C:\folder with space\whatever1.doc" /myVar2:"C:\folder with space 2\somethingelese.txt" C:\example.doc

Answer 1

Try with the following command :

winword.exe "/myVar1:C:\folder with space\whatever1.doc" "/myVar2:C:\folder with space 2\somethingelese.txt" C:\example.doc

If it still doesn't work, send us the content of the array returned by GetCommandLineArgs.
