Hi,

Can anyone help me with this… I need to unzip file using Winzip, shell command executes if command passed in this format…

wzunzip “Claims data.zip” c:\data\notes\temp

Here is my Script:

todir = " C:\data\notes\temp"

fromdir = "C:\data\notes\temp" & fname

temp$ = " ’ " & Cstr(fromdir) & " ’ "

shellCommand="c:\data\notes\temp\wzunzip.exe " + temp$ + todir

zip% = Shell( shellCommand , 6)

How do I get double quote around filename (“Claims data.zip”) am able to get single quote as shown in code above, but don’t work I need double quote. Becoz there is problem with blank spaces in filename in MSDOS, u need to surround with double quotes to execute command.

Adv. thanks.
