I'm trying to run batch files code within Visual Basic. I've been told you can do this using the Shell command, however I'm running into trouble with double quotes.As the Shell command syntax is Shell("codecodecode"), I'm not sure what to do when the batch file already contains quotes.
For example, how would I use the code:
copy "file location" "destination"
If I try to display a command line argument that has double quotes around, the double quotes are always stripped off. How can I avoid this?
for example, the argument is "c:xx.txt" and this displays c:xx.txt instead Console.WriteLine((My.Application.CommandLineArgs(4)))
I have a visual basic shell command that installs an IPP printers with a shell command. It asks for the username for the port.
userport = username.Text
How do I Incorporate that into:
Shell("rundll32 printui.dll,PrintUIEntry /b ""AT-LAB-BWQ"" /if /f %windir%inf
tprint.inf /r
""[URL]"" /m
""HP Color LaserJet 2800 Series PS"" /z /u")
User enter a command like 2+2 and instead of displaying 2+2 in the designated textbox 4 appears.

ive been working on a little program last days, it''s finished i can get it up and running it does all it has to do. the only thing im running to is that i want to write lines to a text file... which works.but in this text there are double quotes so i''m having this:
Dim folder As String
folder = Form1.FolderBrowserDialog1.SelectedPath
For Each foundDirectory As String In My.Computer.FileSystem.GetDirectories(folder + "\players\profiles\", FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, "*")
[code]....
Suppose I have a text string like this..
<The dog needs to go out "">
In the event the string ends with "">, I would like to isolate it. The end goal is to only write out text that looks like this:
<The dog needs to go out "now">, where a value exists between the quotes.
Here's my code:
If chk = "" Then
I've tried nesting chr(34)'s around it and all kinds of other things. I just cannot seem to interpret the quotes. Basically, I am appending an XML file from a database.
Code:
Private Sub AppendFile(ByVal textFileDirectory As String, ByVal textFileFile As String, ByVal textStringToPass As String)
Debug.WriteLine("textStringToPass: " & textStringToPass)
' If the last two characters of the string are "" then skip
Dim a As Integer = Len(textStringToPass) - 1

My program creates a CSV file, this works fine and each line created is correct except it does not have a double quote at each end. How does one add a double quote to the beginning and end of each record without the program thinking it is a formatting function.[code] Although neither method caused an error, neither did they achieve the desired result. Is there an easy way to do this that works?

This is wrong because I'm not escaping it properly:
s = s.Replace(""","");
This is wrong because there is not blank character character (to my knowledge):

I tried writing the following TestCase for an NUnit test written in VB.net:

The xml-node passed as the second parameter to the testcase is not valid however, as this clearly is not the correct way to escape double quotes. I'm sure I can find a workaround in order to check that the method under test returns the expected XML-node, but I'm curious:
Is there some clever way to pass a string such as this, containing double quotes, as a parameter to an NUnit test?

View 8 RepliesI am grabbing an HTMLElement from a browser object and then using getElementById to grab the element I want. When the element is grabbed into the HtmlElement object double quotes around attributes like <input type="checkbox" name="test1" /> becomes <input type=checkbox name=test1>.It is removing the double quotes and backslash from the HTML available in the HtmlElement. Is there anyway to get the HTML element from Visual Basic .NET code and keep the true HTML formatting?
View 1 RepliesI have a VB.net program in which I call the Shell function. I would like to get the text output that is produced from this code in a file. However, this is not the return value of the executed code so I don't really know how to.
This program is a service but has access to the disk no problem as I already log other information. The whole service have multiple thread so I must also make sure that when the file is written it's not already accessed.
So the app that I am working on requires me to launch shell commands that output text into a command prompt window. I need to be able to capture that text into a string.
