From: Larry Jones Date: 2010-10-01T06:13:18+09:00 Subject: system() command line args System command won’t work with arguments. For example, a simple test in Windows (launch Notepad from ruby..) command = 'c:\windows\notepad’ arg = “myfile.txt” system(command, arg) Remove the arg and Notepad launches fine. Notepad (or any other program) won't launch with command line arguments. Am I missing something? Larry. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
