Issue with quoting runret command

I've tried numerous quoting permutations of the runret command below, and none have worked. Can someone please tell me how to quote this?

text runret("""cmd /c C:\Windows\System32\Robocopy.exe"" ""C:\Users\bernie\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer Backup"" ""C:\Users\bernie\Desktop\XYplorer""" /MIR);


-Thanks

/MIR is NOT inside the command block and you don't need cmd to invoke a standalone command line tool like robocopy

Easiest way:

Code: Select all

text runret("""robocopy.exe"" ""C:\Users\bernie\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer Backup"" ""C:\Users\bernie\Desktop\XYplorer"" /MIR");

Thank you. That's a lot of quotes! :)
