Forums Bug Reports /run bug

I noticed that /run merges two words together if there is a space in the first character. Tested on both mIRC 6.1.

Eg:

/run a bc

will return:

abc

/run a b c

will return:
ab c

However,

/run aa b

will work correctly and return aa b.

The problem can be solved by using "a b c" for example, however,

if you want to run your web browser that is only one character long (lets call it x, anyway its impossible right now, just an example), you cannot work it by using

/run "a http://url"

you have to do it by /run a "http://url"

That's where the problem happens.

It will become a"http://url"

Anyone else experiencing this?

mine just needs "'s for spaces.
otherwise its fine.

/!run a bc
-
* /run: unable to open 'abc'
-
/!run a b c
-
* /run: unable to open 'ab c'
-

Yup, here too. Tested on 5.91, 6.03 and 6.1, btw. Could this be Windows' fault?

This works fine ...


So does this ...

With quotes, it works. But I don't get why does it try to run "abc" if I wanted it to run "a bc".

Yeah thats weird merging the a bc like that. Works fine if you use the .ext "/run m.exe <stuff>"

The only reasons I can come up with here are thus:


Could this be mIRC joining the path and then the file at the end of the path? Some sort of compensation for an accidental space between path and file.


In this instance, mIRC could be joining path and filename (a and b) and leaving a space for commandline switches (c) for operating that file.


I can't explain this one tho

Maybe I read through this thread too quickly, but since you all seem to have tried a few combinations, I figured I'd mention one I didn't see already mentioned.



The line above works for me. If you had an "a.bat" batch file as shown below...



...then ran the following line in mIRC...



... google should pop up in Internet Explorer fine. Sorry if I'm repeating what someone else already said.

Yup, as I said above, it works with quotes.
