Re: Problem using system to call securecrt

Did you try using the full path in the system call ?
Try doing : system ( "$full_path_to_exe", "xyz.vbs" )

One more thing : you don't need to write the path with \ in perl .
You can say :
$full_path_to_exe =" C:/Program Files/SecureCRT 3.0/securecrt.exe"

Update : Well, sorry : now i see that your problem is with the space in "Program Files" . See this 421595 where bart gives this solution :

my $prog = "c:\\program files\\agent\\agent.bat";
system(qq("$prog"));

No, the unquoted space is only a problem for (single-argument) `system`. `chdir` has no problems with spaces: `C:\>perl -e "chdir 'c:/documents and settings'; system 'dir';"` lists the contents of `C:\Documents and Settings`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
