Scripting Language -how to enter double quote

[tstand]

Hi Everyone,

On scripting language (Python), at call settings tab, under argument expression -how do I enter the following argument:

-z "c:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe" -d 192.168.1.50 --fl2 myFilename.fl2 --fl_sel vf_oy

Python script calls "c:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe" as part of the argument.

The complete call:

python fth.py -z "c:\Program Files (x86)\7-Zip\7z.exe" -d 192.168.1.50 --fl2 myFilename.fl2 --fl_sel vf_oy

I am using Teststand 2012.  Thanks,

Frank

I'm not sure what the python step is looking for since I don't have that step type, but if it's expecting an expression for the arguments you can specify the following:

"-z \"c:\\Program Files (x86)\\7-Zip\\7z.exe\\\" -d 192.168.1.50 --fl2 myFilename.fl2 --fl_sel vf_oy"

Since backslash is the escape character for string literals (like in C/C++/C#).

Hi Doug,

Thanks for your help and after running with suggested solution I got code error 2  from Python script:

"-z \"c:\\Program Files (x86)\\7-Zip\\7z.exe\\\" -d 192.168.1.50 --fl2 myFilename.fl2 --fl_sel vf_oy"

However it works fine if I remove the last two "\\"

"-z \"c:\\Program Files (x86)\\7-Zip\\7z.exe\" -d 192.168.1.50 --fl2 myFilename.fl2 --fl_sel vf_oy"

Thanks for your help.
