AmigaGuide - any experts on the SYSTEM link node?

[doctorq]

I'm making an AmigaGuide format where I need to execute a command with a parameter with a space in it.

In the AmigaGuide 101 found here https://wiki.amigaos.net/wiki/AmigaGuide_101 the example is

@{"Picture of a Workbench Screen" SYSTEM sys:utilities/Display sys:Workbench.pic}

What to do if my filename is This is my workbench.pic?

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately no dice

For those interested, I seem to have found the solution myself...

Code: [Select]

@{"Picture of a Workbench Screen" SYSTEM "sys:utilities/Display \"sys:This is my Workbench.pic\""}
seems to do the trick for me.

I will try and test tomorrow, but in my test file I actually set the double quotation marks after SYSTEM right away, so I don't know for sure. I'm guessing an error in the docs though.

I have tested today, and if you write the line as it is in the docs, it will only launch the Display utility and not parse the image filename to the utility. Putting double quotes around the whole command will execute the command properly, thus parsing the image filename to the utility. When using spaces in the filename, you will have to do as I posted earlier, so

Code: [Select]

@{"Picture of a Workbench Screen" SYSTEM "sys:utilities/Display \"sys:This is my Workbench.pic\""}
Testing was done on real hardware with OS3.9. Multiview version 45.9 (2002/01/18)
