Hello Robert Hook,
I have been trying to drag my MDL application forward. I ran into an issue with the path to my Application. I was using the _MakeFilePath symbol and noticed since I had long directory name it was causing an issue. Is there a different symbol which uses the mangled directory names? From looking at the MicroStation Connect examples I believe that the issue was addressed. Any suggestions?
Regards
Peter
Hi Peter,
spaces etc. are a nightmare for working in a shell.
Bob showed me on a DevCon some batch trick: “FOR %%A IN (%1) DO ECHO %%~sA”. You will find variants of this in all the batches for the developer shell.
Another trick is quoting. But be careful. This is also tricky.
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\"
but
start C:\"Program Files (x86)"\"Microsoft Visual Studio"\2017\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe
Hopefuly there is a flag or macro in bmake world I do not know about. But we found some simple solution. It is simply forbidden in our company to use spaces etc. in path and name in our source-files.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards Volker Hüfner
