Windows

When you are entering paths in the CLI on a Windows system you must pay special attention to any space characters.

If you specify a path that contains spaces, it must be wrapped in double-quotes. However, the Windows shells do not expand path wildcards wrapped with double-quotes. For example, “C:\Program Files\someDirectory\*.zpd” does not expand to all the *.zpd files in the directory “C:\Program Files\someDirectory.”

To avoid this problem, change to a directory in which you do not have to use double-quotes and execute the command. For instance, in the example, do either of the following:

C:\>cd C:\Program Files

C:\>wsea trans input someDirectory\*.zpd

or

C:\>cd C:\Program Files\someDirectory

C:\>wsea trans input *.zpd

Windows

On Windows systems, commands that contain an argument with a comma must enclose the argument in quotation marks. If the argument is not in quotation marks, Java® does not interpret the comma, and you may receive undesired results. The exact placement of the quotation marks is not critical, and both of the following examples show valid commands:

wsea n ana index=”s:1, e:1” wsea n ana “index=s:1, e:1”

When you are entering commands, be aware that Windows does not require a second double-quote around parameters, since it automatically completes the set of quotes. Thus, if you enter the following command:

C:\>wsea trans input “C:\Program

Files\someDirectory\disk_read_errors.errlog

Windows interprets it as:

C:\>wsea trans input “C:\Program

Files\someDirectory\disk_read_errors.errlog”

Furthermore, with Windows, if a backslash character (\) is placed at the end of a double-quoted directory, the double-quote following the backslash is treated as part of the text passed to the program. This causes Windows to treat all characters, including spaces, before the end of the line as a single argument. For example, if you enter the following arguments:

“C:\Program Files\someDirectory\” C:\anotherDirectory

They are interpreted by the Windows command interpreter as:

“C:\Program Files\someDirectory” C:\anotherDirectory”
