fasm (WinXP, fasm v1.67.26) doesn't recognize command-line arguments which include *internal* quotation marks like

it errs "source file not found"
[ UPD: i expected this to work because my own C++ app that uses <fstream> accepts it with no problems ]

[ UPD: such syntax is actually NOT standard ]

i met this inconvenience creating a batch file which takes file name as a parameter, like this:
fasmN.cmd


i know there is a workaround for it, but it's just a little inconvenient and confusing
even more trouble if i have series of *.cmd which call each other with parameters

thanks in advance

The workaround is this:

no it isn't
if

then

again internal quotes and error

actually works this:

and it confuses

nik, never expect this to work. It would be actually three parameters.
If you want to remove quotes, use %~1 for substitution.
It's still not clear, what are you trying to do?

basically i want to pass file name as a parameter to fasmN.cmd and add path and extension

if there's a space in a file name i can't do this:
> fasmN hello world
because there would be 2 params: %1==hello %2==world

so i do this:
> fasmN "hello world"
and

doesn't work !

and i DO expect this would work because my own C++ app using standard header <fstream> handles such paths correctly

yeah actually i didn't now this
but it would be better if %1 worked too though

do not see here any problem. call your file hello.asm - this definetly will help.

yes you're right but i want my cmd-files be more *general*
because i use them for my C-compiler (my task at university)

nik: internal quotation marks aren't standard, neither Notepad or Notepad++ handles them. "type" from a command prompt does, though.

too bad of me -- i have really thought otherwise
thanks for the info

Have you looked at %* instead of %1 - it gives you the whole command-line parameter, including spaces (I think).
