General Mach Discussion / Problem launching external editor

« on: November 14, 2006, 09:03:47 PM »

I seem to have run into a problem with launching an editor from Mach 3, but I'm not sure if this has been discussed before.  The problem appears when you try to assign an editor whose path has spaces in it.  Like Wordpad for example:

"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe"

Notepad works fine because it's path doesn't have any spaces in it:

"C:\Windows\notepad.exe"

This problem came up when I tried to send a G-Code file to NCPlot.  I am NCPlot's developer, so I was able to verify that the data being passed was everything after the first space in the editor's path.  So, instead of just getting the name of the file to open, I am also getting part of the pathname as well.

The version of Mach 3 I tried this with is R1.84

So, I guess I'm asking if anybody else has run into this.

Thanks,
Scott
