calling PLDOC w/ spaces in directory path

[W Penfold]

Hi, Can anyone give me an example how to call pldoc.bat from a batch file when the -d argument needs to be a path that has a space in the name?  I've tried "", /"/", using the abbrev dos name.  Either I get directory not found--because it stops looking at the space, or the java call bombs.

Try \"\"

When I try /" /" it looks like it takes all the backslashes out of the directory name...see below

Sorry, I used \&quot;\&quot; but typed /"/"

I have very little experience with teh program, but from what I've found, I think the problem is because you're trying to paste it to a different drive.

Try changing your -d to something local, say -d w/pen/fold and it should create the subsequent folders at the location of the bat file.
