Im working on programming with some use from the command prompt...

I want my program to tell command prompt to move something somewhere and the code in cmd uses "" for the paths...and in C# if i try to type "" for the coding, it thinks im stopping my text.

Code: Select all

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("cmd.exe", @"/c MD "path" "path to move"");

thats my code

to use a " just simply put a \ before it so it should look like this

In case you ever need to google for the concept it is called an "escape character".
