but when it has spaces it stops when it reach the first space.. and it gives me “java.io.IOException:” exeption..that the file is not found..<\/p>\n
i have tried replacing the spaces with backspace and space..<\/p>\n
scriptPath.replace(\" \", \"\\\\ \")\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
i also tried adding quotes before and after the path<\/p>\n
\"\\\"\" + scriptPath + \"\\\"\"\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
and i have tried them both together..<\/p>\n
\"\\\"\" + scriptPath.replace(\" \", \"\\\\ \") + \"\\\"\"\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
but none of them had worked..<\/p>\n
