Probably not the best place to ask this question but I'm working on
something that does a load of stuff silently but records its actions to a
logfile table. When processing has finished I'm sending a plain text email
with a message to the users. I was going to put a link in the email to my
log viewer so they could just click to see the log.
With this in mind I made the viewer take a command line parameter for the
log id; so the message would look something like this.
Dearest users,
the automatic processing has finished; please view the log here:
\\server\share\directory\myfoxprog.exe id_for_logfile_records_to_view
The problem; as demonstrated above (if you have a newsgroup reader such as
outlook express..) is that I cannot place a space in the command. I crossed
my fingers and tried putting %20 in place of the space but it's not a HTTP
URL and so it didn't work.
My next thought was that I can write a batch file nd attach it which can
handle having a space in it but it's not quite so neat.
Can I do this with a "pretty blue text" link or is the batch file the best
route?
