Hello, nithinpes i am trying to run a batch file which is located in Documents and Settings folder. I get the error as windows can not find the path "c:Documents\. How to fix this error?

If the path contains spaces, then the entire path needs to be escaped within quotes (quoted command should be passed to system).

Thank you nithinpes. I have small doubt. Should the batch be in C folder only to be executed? Cos I have my batch file in D drive. When i try to run batch file individually, it runs and gives me corresponding output. But, when I try to run from perl script, it wont run. Also, I wont get any error message. What might be the problem?

when the path contains spaces, replace the folder names with their windows names.
To get windows names of the folders, just use command dir /x.
it will solve spaces problem.
