I'm not sure what Mustella is written in, but would something generic like this work?
If a string needs to be turned into an array then maybe... Use the "-" as the first delimiter to break apart the options and use a temp array. Then use the "=" to break out the names from the values. Keeping two arrays with the same number of elements. One array stores the argument name and the second argument value. //Declare arrays/string string [] saNames = {"Option1", "Option2", "Option3"}; string [] saValues = {"My value with spaces", "test2", "test 3"}; string sCombinedOptions = ""; //Loop through all elements in arrays for (;;) { //Combine names / values. sCombinedOptions += saNames[currentItem] + "=""" + saValues[currentItem] + """ "; } //Add the command line and options. "path\mxmlc.exe" + " " + sCombinedOptions; -----Original Message----- From: Peter Ent [mailto:p...@adobe.com] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2012 9:33 To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: Getting Mustella to work. That ought to work, but does not. The Mustella code pieces together a large string with all of the options on it, then turns the string into a String[] by using space as the delimiter. Thus -source-path="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\MSInfo\MSInfo32.exe" turns into [] = -source-path="C:\Program Files\Common [] = Files\Microsoft [] = Shared\MSInfo\MSInfo32.exe" And it does this several times (turning the array into a string, inserting other args, back to an array) to build up the argument list. Ultimately, the array of options is passed over to mxmlc to execute, so it does need to turn into an array of options. I was working on putting everything into an ArrayList but more and more code needed to change and then I was getting errors from mxmlc saying parameters were being mixed which I didn't understand since it was getting the same parameters in the same order. So I have to re-think the approach. --peter On 8/23/12 6:59 AM, "Kessler CTR Mark J" <mark.kessler....@usmc.mil> wrote: >I know this may sound silly, but windows deals with the spaces in path >using quotes around the whole path.
