shortcut command lines with " (inverted commas)

hi all

new to nsis - absolutely loving it. one thing i cant seem to find out is this:

a shorcut i need to make has to have these parameters:

"path_to_exe" "path_to_doc" "/apps own command" "path_to_second_doc"

the inverted commas need to be in place for the shortcut to work. ive tried placing a back/forward slash before the ", but to no avail. basically, i just need that darn inverted comma.

in case you were wondering, im creating a simple installer for an Access db file. in the shortcut, i need access.exe called up, then the db file, then the access command line, then the workgroup security file.

Thanks for the help!

documentation:

CreateShortCut link.lnk target.file [parameters [icon.file [icon_index_number [start_options [keyboard_shortcut [description]]]]]]

so use this:

CreateShortCut "MyShortCut.lnk" "path_to_exe" '"path_to_doc" "/apps own command" "path_to_second_doc"'

if you want to use inverted commata, you can combine different types of them. nsis2 supports the following:

' '

" "

` `

for this topic, see also chapter 4.1: script file format, subchapter "strings", where you may find some examples on this topic.

thanks so very much for the help! it works, and my job is done.

much appreciated!
