[Gambas-user] Problem with Shell Gambas 3.10.0

[Jussi Lahtinen]

I suggest you run the code like this and look what the command actually
look like when it fails:


Dim sCommand As String = "steamcmd +login" & " " & UserName & " " & PassWD
& " " & "+force_install_dir" & " " & CacheSaveLocation & "/" & dlDat[1] & "
" & "+app_update 251570 -beta" & " " & dlDat[1] & " " & "+quit"


Debug sCommand

p1 = Shell sCommand Wait For Input As "Process"



Also you can tidy up the command:


"steamcmd +login " & UserName & " " & PassWD & " +force_install_dir " &
CacheSaveLocation & "/" & dlDat[1] & " +app_update 251570 -beta " &
dlDat[1] & " +quit"


If you need to add quote marks for the command you can escape with \, and
so \" will print quote mark.
