Bug ID: 96038
Summary: Shell function does not work whith .bat files and
paths containing spaces
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Windows (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: BASIC
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
On Windows, in basic macros, the shell() function does not work when executing
a .bat file and when the path contains spaces. The usual ConvertToURL() trick
does not work when executing .bat files.
To reproduce the bug:
1. Create a directory C:\Temp\Temp Folder
2. Create a test.bat file with the following content:
echo Test
pause
and copy that file to C:\Temp and C:\Temp\Temp Folder
3. Copy C:\Windows\write.exe to C:\Temp and C:\Temp Folder to get an .exe test
case
4. Create the following basic macro:
Sub Test
' Works
'Shell(ConvertToURL("C:\Temp\test.bat"), 1)
'Works
'Shell(ConvertToURL("C:\Temp\write.exe"), 1)
' Works
'Shell(ConvertToURL("C:\Temp\Test Folder\write.exe"), 1)
' Does not work
Shell(ConvertToURL("C:\Temp\Test Folder\test.bat"), 1)
' Works
'Shell("cmd.exe", 1, "/c " & "C:\Temp\write.exe")
' Does not work
'Shell("cmd.exe /c", 1, "C:\Temp\test.bat")
' Works
'Shell("cmd.exe /c", 1, """C:\Temp\Test Folder\write.exe""")
' Does not work
'Shell("cmd.exe /c", 1, """C:\Temp\Test Folder\test.bat""")
End Sub
5. Execute the macro and check that it's only possible to execute test.bat when
the path does not contain space. On the contrary, executing write.exe is
possible whatever the path contains spaces or not.
