The following Line in a batch file:

bin\pvengine.exe "f:\00_rpgm\01_bs\01_projekte\smpov
1\com\ani_woodbox_08132002_172415_87176_1_0x0-160x120a.ini"

Please note the chr$(34) (=") around the path.
Gives the following error (below).

Seems that POV does not allow pathes with whitespaces at all outside of
".ini"-Files ?
If that is the case what do I do if the ".ini" File is somewhere where there
are whitespaces in
the file-path ?

If that behavior is wanted, it would be good to know.

thanks

I don't know but you can always try short names equivalent.

Hmmm ... to change all pathes to "short-name equivalent" first.

It could be a sollution if we would know that the resulting file would
always run on THAT particular computer. Which is infact NOT the case here
:-).

Hmmm. If there is no sollution to give the full path to POV, I guess I have
to restrict the proggy to a "non whitespace path".

thanks

I have just tested as
  pvengin.exe "abx test.ini"
and it worked fine. No idea what could be wrong in your situation.

Sounds intresting to me. I have win2k. My POV does as if the """ would not
be there.
Do you have W2k or ... ?

It is not POV-Ray's problem but that of your shell.  It separates the path
into two separate arguments.  Read up in your shell documentation how to
specify special characters in command lines.

Try putting the parameter into quotation marks.

I did that, they have been in Quotation marks (=chr$(34) - isn't ?).
