Trouble Using Command Line Argument

Jan 17th, 2009

i have been using CreatProcess in my program to initialize another program with two command line arguments as
C:\\Documents and Settings\\xyz.exe
and 2

so the code i am using is

 Help with Code Tags 
 c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
CreateProcess ( "C:\\abc.exe", " C:\\Documents and Settings\\xyz.exe 2", NULL, NULL, FALSE, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
                 NULL, NULL, &si, &pi );
CreateProcess ( "C:\\abc.exe", " C:\\Documents and Settings\\xyz.exe 2", NULL, NULL, FALSE, NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS,
                 NULL, NULL, &si, &pi );

but due to spaces b/w Documents and settings it is treating it as 3 arguments.....is there a way to pass arguments with spaces and still
treat them as a single argument???

Some well-placed \" perhaps?
