Env. variables with parentheses don't work in $exec

[vurtikas]

I'm using $exec("%Commander_Path%\TOTALCMD.exe" /t /o "%1")

%Commander_Path% expands to "C:\Program Files (x86)\TotalCmd"

Everything 1.3.1.636 fails with: "ShellExecuteExW(): GetLastError(): 2: failed to execute C:\Program Files (x86"

[void]

Thanks for reporting this issue.

This is a bug, I will have it fixed for the next release of Everything.

For now you will need to specify the full path to totalcmd.exe with-out
using the environment string and use $( and $) to escape ( and ).

For example:

Code: Select all

$exec("C:\Program Files $(x86$)\TotalCmd\TOTALCMD.exe" /t /o "%1")
