XYplorer Beta Club

Greetings all,

I've been trying for a while to write a simple User Button that runs WinMerge (a popular comparison tool) in order to compare the current panes.
Thing is, it works - until i try to enter some command line options to the WinMerge executable.

What i would like to run is somethings like this: But i have no idea on how to accomplish this.

1. If if simply use the /e /r are interpreted as math operation and i get a division by zero

2. If i use i get a "file not found" error - probably xyplorer considers the switches to be part of the exe path.

3. If i use the "<get path X>" are not substituted anymore. WinMerge runs fine, but it tries to compare the "<get path 2>" and "<get path 1>" (literal) folders.

I'm stumped. I tried to find a similar case in the documentation, but i couldn't. In the forums there is another thread talking about WinMerge integration, but for a completely differente problem.
Can somebody please point me to an example of a similiar case?

Thank you all in advance!

Easy...
Just enclose your program (WinMergeU.exe with path) and all of your variables ($Arg1 & $Arg2 (that should be substituted with real paths, files, whatever)) in double quotes and add an additional quote at the beginning and at the end of the line (hence the three quotes there).

Hey, thanks!
I used: and it works like a charm!

Thanks again!

Nice example. I added it to the Help file.
