#210239 - 2015-05-07 12:59 PM Problem with use command and variables containing quotation marks
thomasdin thomasdin Just in Town Registered: 2015-04-07 Posts: 3 Loc: Germany	Hello, i am new to kix and tried to writen an logon script which reads groupmembership and then connect via use serveral drives. All of this went well. The Problem begins when i want to set the var which contains unc-path in quotation marks. I tried serveral ways but couldn't figure out how to solve it. Everytime it try to put the var in quotation marks it fails with: error in use Statement. Here an Example: SETCONSOLE("show") $drive = g: $path = '\\server\share$\folder' use $drive Chr(34) + $path + Chr(34) ?@error ? @serror Thanks in advance and sorry please excuse my poor english

Just to rule out variable parsing, use this format: $path = '\\server\share$$\folder' _________________________ ! download KiXnet

Simply put the following at the top of your script to tell kix to ignore all $'s that are in strings... $nul = SetOption("NoVarsInStrings", "On") OR...You can also use double $$ to escape the $ character. So your path would become... $path = '\\server\share$$\folder' Either way should solve your issue.

ShaneEP ShaneEP MM club member Registered: 2002-11-29 Posts: 2127 Loc: Tulsa, OK	Also, another problem...Your use statement is missing a space. use $drive Chr(34) + $path + Chr(34) should be use $drive+" "+Chr(34)+$path+Chr(34) or even use $drive+' "'+$path+'"'

thomasdin thomasdin Just in Town Registered: 2015-04-07 Posts: 3 Loc: Germany	Thank you Shane and Lonkero for you suggesstion. My Problem is solved. But as an sidenote i never had an issue with the missing space, my script works fine without it. cheers thomas Edited by thomasdin (2015-05-07 05:04 PM)
