Re: IDE and files with spaces in path name

But doesn't the statement after the shellExecute immediately execute before
the running program has completed?

After I run the program with system_exec I look to see if ex.err exists and
then show the error statement in the IDD's Code Editor.

I tried using system instead of system_exec and it worked fine with the
spaces but it let the error checking happen (which is the next set of
statements after the system.....) before it ended so it always thought there
was no ex.err file when in fact there might have been.
