[misterhouse-users] a challange with nested quotes in run_after_delay function

[linc1234 <lin...@sw...>]

Hi.  I have included the necessary lines that are tripping me up on this
run_after_delay problem.  I believe I tried all the suggestions posted
in the last couple days (thanks).  Ideally, I would like to run this
copy cmd as a process to avoid any MH delays but the problem with the
quotes is causing me problems there as well.  Having the quadriple
quotes necessary in windows for pointing to a file on a networked PC
might be part of the problem too.  Any additional help here would be
much appreciated.  Thanks, Linc


#Define file grabbed cam image will be written to;
my $imageFile="c:\\Misterhouse\\mh\\data\\photos\\conquerCam.jpg";

#Define path for copied and renamed grabbed camera image;
my $webPath="\\\\Wxserver\\c\\apache2\\htdocs\\WUW\\House_images\\";


    #run_after_delay 2, "run_voice_cmd 'copy imageFiles'"; # didn't work
;
    #run_after_delay 2, qq|copy($imageFile,"$webPath $activeCam.jpg")|;#
didn't work;
    #run_after_delay 2, "copy($imageFile,'$webPath $activeCam.jpg')";#
didn't work;
    #run_after_delay 2, "copy($imageFile,\"$webPath $activeCam.jpg\")";#
didn't work;





if(state=said $v_scanCams){
 set $p_copyFiles 'copy($imageFile,"$webPath $imageFile")';
 #set $p_copyFiles "copy($imageFile,$webFile)";
 set_timeout $p_copyFiles 30;
 start $p_copyFiles;
