Wraith Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 What's stopping you from using " instead of ' to enclose the string? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 That's all..!?<items><item display='Aanmaken start menu snelkoppelingen'><shortcut display="Outlook Express" program="%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\msimn.exe" description="Blah Blah" link="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Menu Start\Programma's\Internet\Outlook Express.lnk"/><shortcut display="Address Boek" program="%ProgramFiles%\Outlook Express\wab.exe" description="Blah Blah" link="%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Menu Start\Programma's\Internet\Address Boek.lnk"/></item>And it worked like a charm! The double " thingy did it.Are there any limitations to this? Or is this the way you want it to be used because of the prob's i had with it?Thnx.

Wraith Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 There's no "limitations" - the parser is (mostly) XML compliant, so you can use either ' or " to enclose strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAM Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 It works super for me, still very happy with your tool.Sorry that i don't use the new version at this moment, but i use lots of file movement/shortcut/cleaning beside's the program installations.When u are ready to release that, ill be around for sure! No hurry's ofcourse.Still one little question, do you have a very small amount of time to look over my xml sheet that i used so far? I want to know if there are things in it you should use in another way.. Or maybe it's fine the way it is!?let me know.Thanks again, for the reply.

Wraith Posted February 14, 2005 Share Posted February 14, 2005 FileOps and Shortcut should be this weekend, hopefully.As for the XML... if it works the way you want, that's all that matters, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
