There is no 'command line' with NSTask (or with the execv system call it uses.) You pass an array of individual arguments that end up as the new process's argv[] array. There are no size limits that I know of. Note that this also means there is no need to encode characters in filesystem paths, even spaces and quotes, since they're not getting parsed by any shell. —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
