TagUI - RUN misbehave with parameters between double quote

[GarneshMike]

Hi there,

I'm running an external command with arguments using RUN function as below. Command : "C:\tagui\set_focus.exe" Argument 1 : --windows_name="test file" Argument 2 : --windows_mode="restore"

It seems the double quote does not have any impact on parsing the arguments. Is there any workaround available. Thanks in advance.

//TagUI Script run "C:\tagui\set_focus.exe" --windows_name="test file" --windows_mode="restore" echo run_result

//Results START - automation started - Fri Nov 25 2022 16:24:13 GMT+0800 (Malay Peninsula Standard Time) run "C:\tagui\set_focus.exe" --windows_name="test file" --windows_mode="restore" usage: set_focus.exe [-h] --windows_name WINDOWS_NAME --windows_mode WINDOWS_MODE set_focus.exe: error: unrecognized arguments: file"

Hi @GarneshMike can you try this to run your external programme?

run cmd /c start C:\\tagui\\set_focus.exe

Hi Ruth,

After further analysis I've found out that TagUI parses backslash (\) to escape the double quote (\") during the run command.

Example: run cmd /c command "arg1" TagUI translate into => command \"arg1\"

• The additional backslash supplied to the command fails the execution.

So I wrote a wrapper to remove the escape characters.

Anyway thanks for the feedback.
