Windows Nt directory names

[David LeBlanc]

CMD=r'"c:\program files\action.exe"'

Note the double quotes inside the single quotes. What you are doing is
passing a quoted string to the OS and that's legal (and required as you have
found out when there are spaces in the path) :)

  hi

  i wanted to execute a command somewhere in "program files" directory but
can't seem to do it as it says : "c:\program" is not recognized as an
internal command

  i have used :

  import os

  CMD = r'c:\program files\action.exe'

  os.system(CMD)

  how do i code so that the space in "program files" is recognized?

  thanks
