Re^6: Newbie cmd prompt problem

You are correct about using proper terminology. My Mom calls me all the time and I have to figure out what she really means. Plus, I have been teaching software (including Windows) for 15 years, so I should know better! I did figure out the problem (I think) I had spaces in my file name and when I removed theme, it worked:-)Now I just have to figure out all of the errors in my code. I wish I was more left brained and less right brained... at least right now.

LOL. Nope, I'm not that guy. 1. because I'm female and 2. because I was chasing boys at 12, not playing with computers:-)AND I wouldn't be posting if my computer was "shatting flames". I'd be tossing it onto my front lawn and running for a fire extinguisher:-)	[reply]

We've all been there :) talking to yourself out loud is a pretty good debugging technique :) 1 / 2 In this list of links there are a few that discuss quoting command line arguments, super short version `perl "path with spaces yada da"` ... when you drag/drop a file onto cmd.exe the resulting filename is usually quoted	[reply] [d/l]
