Execfile help!

I've been unable to send commandline arguments to any app via Blitz3d's ExecFile "" command...

I wanted to send a filename via the commandline to my conversion utilities... ie: ExecFile 'convertfile.exe myfile.3ds'

But alas, it seems blitz3d dosent send the arguments?... Any advice or a workaround tip will be appreciated! :)

Perhaps

ExecFile chr$(34)+"convertfile.exe myfile.3ds"+chr$(34)
; or
ExecFile "convertfile.exe "+chr$(34)+"myfile.3ds"+chr$(34)

will work?

Edit: I have no problem with sending commandline parameters, try this:

; Compile and save as untitled.exe
Print CommandLine$()
WaitKey()
End

; Save in the same directory as the untitled.exe, and run from the IDE
ExecFile "untitled.exe hello!"
End

Whoa, could this be OS releated?... what OS you on Fredborg?

Thanks for these tips

Win2000, and yes it can be os related. I think older os'es require double quotes around that kind of thing...

This worked for me!
ExecFile Chr(34)+"untitled.exe"+Chr(34)+" hello!" on xp/pro ... lol go figure.

Thanks for your time Fredborg.

problem with that, is that if I want to launch another blitz3D exe, the old exe lost the focus when I launch, and even with an "end" command after execfile, the old windows stays just there, waiting for a mouse*keyboard input.

any way to solve this ?
