exec() on Windows

[Gio]

Hi all,
this is my problem: I need to "exec" the following command:

C:\Programmi\Soft\soft.exe -v -d C:\dati\$nomefile
C:\dati\pdf\$filename

and i tried to execute it in php with (one of) the following lines....

exec("C:\Programmi\Soft\soft.exe -v -d C:\dati\.$nomefile
C:\dati\pdf\.$filename");
exec("C:\Programmi\Soft\soft.exe" -v -d "C:\dati\".$nomefile
"C:\dati\pdf\".$filename);
exec("C:\\Programmi\\Soft\\soft.exe -v -d C:\\dati\\.$nomefile
C:\\dati\\pdf\\.$filename");
exec("C:/Programmi/Soft/soft.exe -v -d C:/dati/.$nomefile
C:/dati/pdf/.$filename");
exec("C:/Programmi/Soft/soft.exe" -v -d "C:/dati/".$nomefile
"C:/dati/pdf/".$filename);

but there is something wrong and that i.. do not understand...
Is there anyone so kind to show me the correct line and a couple of
comments on how to built it? I tried to search for it (manual,
newsgroups...) but i haven't found it (and my mistakes are the result
:-P)

Thanks in advance,
Giorgio

This one looks closest:

exec("C:\\Programmi\\Soft\\soft.exe -v -d C:\\dati\\.$nomefile
C:\\dati\\pdf\\.$filename");
But are those periods supposed to be there?

WHAT is wrong? How do you expect anybody to help you debug it if you
don't say what happens?

Try:

exec("C:\\Programmi\\Soft\\soft.exe -v -d C:\\dati\\$nomefile
C:\\dati\\pdf\\$filename");

Also,

exec("C:/Programmi/Soft/soft.exe -v -d C:/dati/$nomefile
C:/dati/pdf/$filename");

should work (Windows understands '/' - just the command interpreter
doesn't).
