String manipulation

Lee
Hi All,

I need to make a string look like this. I am calling a program and need to
send args to it.

"c:\program files\program dir\prog.exe" /B "c:\config files\file1.txt"

The quotes need to be passed exactly as they are in that string or it will
not work. I need the quotes or I end up getting things trucated.

Thanks

Lee

@"""c:\program files\program dir\prog.exe"" /B ""c:\config
files\file1.txt"""

This is what I get that that:

"\"C:\\program files\\program dir\\prog.exe\" /B \"C:\\config
files\\files1.txt\""

That is right out of the watch window

That's still the program representation. If you print that string out, say
to the console, it should be as you specified
