Hi,

When passing arguments through command line to EPLAN, if there is a space character in the value, then the quotes("") used to identify parameters are not correctly. This leads to missing parameters when EPLAN is being run, which causes script to fail.

Example:
"C:\Program Files\EPLAN\Electric P8\2.7.3\Bin\W3u.exe" ExecuteScript /ScriptFile:"script.cs" /path:"test.elk" /system:"Test system" /subsystem:"test"

EPLAN error when I run it:
Expected parameter 'subsystem' is missing. And the console output:

Code:

---

"C:\Program Files\EPLAN\Electric P8\2.7.3\Bin\W3u.exe" ExecuteScript /ScriptFile:"script.cs" /path:test.elk /system:"Test system /subsystem:test"

---

You can see Eplan automatically removes the quote in between, so subsystem parameter is inside system parameter quote, which is why it is missing. If I remove the space in the value passed to 'system' parameter as shown below, then script works:

Code:

---

"C:\Program Files\EPLAN\Electric P8\2.7.3\Bin\W3u.exe" ExecuteScript /ScriptFile:"script.cs" /path:"test.elk" /system:"Test_system" /subsystem:"test"

---

Console output:

Code:

---

"C:\Program Files\EPLAN\Electric P8\2.7.3\Bin\W3u.exe" ExecuteScript /ScriptFile:"script.cs" /path:test.elk /system:Test system /subsystem:test

---

So how do I fix this problems? Because of this issue, none of my parameter values can have spaces in them, even though I use double quotes to separate them.. Thanks!

hello,

why is it a Problem not to have spaces in your values?

i personally do not like spaces in names or values.
i always try to use some other characters to seperate the names if it has to be.

Hi,
Sometimes customer will need spaces in some of these values. Also, sometimes I have to pass path of project as parameter, which usually always has a space in them, which cannot be avoided.

Hello,

i can not find any errors using EPLAN 2.7 HF7 and Windows 10 1803.

I just made a little script with your input parameters:

public class Script
{
[Start]
public void Test(string path, string system, string subsystem)
{
MessageBox.Show("Script works with parameter:" + "\npath:" + path + "\nsystem:" + system + "\nsubsystem:" + subsystem);
}
}

And started it with:

"E:\PROGRAMMEx64\Electric P8\2.7.3\Bin\W3u.exe" ExecuteScript /ScriptFile:"D:\P8_Script_1_Message_one_row_var.cs" /path:test.elk /system:"Test system With Space" /subsystem:"test"

Looks quite goood, with output in EPLAN Pop Up. See picture.

I think your qoutes are not at the right position.
