 Handling command line params with spaces


When I pass a file name containing spaces to my application, ParamStr( ) only shows the part of the filename before the first space. How can I retrieve file names containing spaces?   

    Since the space character is a delimiter for ParamStr, you will need to add together all the parameters that are passed to your application (using the ParamCount variable), or access the entire paramstring via the CmdLine variable, and parse out any additional commands. The following example shows how to get the entire command line including any embedded spaces:

    Example:

    procedure TForm .Button Click(Sender: TObject); var s : string; begin s := StrPas(CmdLine); {$IFDEF WIN32} Delete(s, , Pos('" ', s) + ); {$ENDIF} ShowMessage(s); end;
