Long Path Names

[JimM]

Hi,

Are there limitations to length of the path or the characters that can be used in the filename of a hex file to be loaded? We are calling the ds30LoaderConsole.exe from a visual basic program using the command:

program_process = Process.Start("G:\Engineering\Electrical Engineering\APPS AND LOADERS\ds30Loader\ds30LoaderConsole.exe", _
" --file=" & hexFileDir & _
" --device=pic18f6622" & _
" --port=com1" & _
" --baudrate=9600" & _
" --writef" & _
" --ht=10000" & _
" --polltime=500" & _
" --timeout=3000" & _
" --port-open-delay=0" & _
" --non-interactive")

It seems to work when the variable "hexFileDir" does not contain a space.
Does this seem to be a known limitation?

We are using ds30 Loader console free edition 1.0.8
ds30 Loader engine 2.2.8

Thanks

Hi,
From the ds30 Loader console manual

Option values containing spaces need to be enclosed with quotation marks, the quotation
marks should surround the entire argument like this “option=value”.

It's amazing how many times 3 of us read that manual without ever reading the 1st paragraph of how to use the program.

Thank you very much for pointing out the obvious.
