You can optionally pass an array of arguments to cfexecute, so you would build an 
array with each index containing one argument.  Then pass the array to the arguments 
attribute (arguments="#myArgAry#").  In that way you clearly tell the executable what 
each of the arguments are. Otherwise, if you pass an argument string to the arguments 
attribute, CF parses the string to create an array for you. 

Is this CFMX, CFMX 6.1, or CF5?

Subject: cfexecute erroring


I'm starting to work on this web based .htaccess creation, and the most basic place to 
begin seems to be with creation.

When I do this:

     <cfexecute 
      name="c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\bin\htpasswd.exe" 
      arguments="-c -b c:\Program Files\Apache 
Group\Apache\htdocs\epi2\docs\test\.htpasswd test test" 
      timeout="5" />

It doesn't work.  It appears to find the htpasswd.exe file, but I get a printout of 
the syntax on my screen, indicating that my syntax is incorrect.

Because this is a Windows server, I tried this (with quotations added and
escaped):

     <cfexecute 
      name="c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\bin\htpasswd.exe" 
      arguments="-c -b ""c:\Program Files\Apache 
Group\Apache\htdocs\epi2\docs\test\.htpasswd"" test test" 
      timeout="5" />

This doesn't work either.  

On the command line, this works:

htpasswd -c -b "c:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\htdocs\epi2\docs\test\.htpasswd" 
test test

I'd be delighted to find out it is something easy and obvious to fix... I'm confused.
