I created a .NET console application that receives some command line arguments.
When I pass args with spaces, I use quotation marks to cover these arguments so that they are not split by cmd:
C:\MyAppDir> MyApp argument1 "argument 2" "the third argument"
If I run the application on Windows XP, it works fine: it receives 3 arguments:
- argument1
- argument 2
- third argument
However, if I run it on Windows Server 2008, it seems to ignore quotation marks: it receives 6 arguments:
- argument1
- "argument
- 2 "
- "button
- third
- argument "
Any ideas why?
NOTE. I printed arguments only when Main starts execution with this code:
Console.WriteLine("Command line arguments:");
foreach (string arg in args)
{
Console.WriteLine("# " + arg);
}
