[DUG] Variable in String

[Bob Pawley]

Hi

I’m having trouble with using a variable in a string path.

When I use the variable FW_Path := ‘C:\Program Files (x86)’ with two single quotes, the following works well and ShowMessage(ProgramName); displayed the full path .

When I reference FW_Path to a variable X I get an error returned “Can Not run....” The variable  X is returned as C:\Program Files (x86) without quotes. 

I attempted Quote String and got the following ‘C:\Program Files (x86) with one single quote.

Both cases return the same error - and in both cases ShowMessage(ProgramName); displayed none of the path after C:\Program Files (x86).

Help would be appreciated.

Bob

   FW_Path := QuoteStr(X);  
  DXF  := openDialog1.FileName;        
  ProgramName :=FW_Path+'\FWTools2.4.7\bin\ogr2ogr "-f" "PostgreSQL" PG:"host=192........ user=postgres dbname=E5R password=........" "'+ DXF +'" -nln Import_Process';
 
       ShowMessage(ProgramName);
