Space inside a command line.

Good day,
Im trying to create a script that runs a command line with an argument the
problem is that the argument has space in side it, and im having trouble
working out the command line, here is the command with the argument:

Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
rCommand = "runas /user:Domain\suorenz "mmc
%windir%\system32\management.msc"'
WshShell.Run rCommand, 0, TRUE

Thanks in advance

Have you tried dropping the "mmc" part and just go with the msc part?

eg.

rCommand = "runas /u:domain\user %windir%\system32\management.msc"

Hi

Inside a quoted string, you will need to use two quotes to get
one effective:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
sCmd = "runas /user:Domain\suorenz ""mmc %windir%\system32\management.msc"""
WshShell.Run sCmd, 0, True
