Chris - I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out. I'm glad you enjoy my name - I'm from Ohio (exciting!). This really isn't a huge deal - don't spend too much time on this. I am thinking it may be a bug in Run[]. Here is a screenshot of my run of your notebook (all files are in the same directory). The batch file does not execute, and so it is returning 1: http://www.shyammichael.com/screenshot_000.jpg It works fine on your machine, because your directories do not have spaces in their names. In order to run this successfully on my machine, I must surround the first argument in " ": http://www.shyammichael.com/screenshot_001.jpg With these modifications, the .bat is executing (Run[] returns 0). Imagine now, that instead of passing the parameters "hi" and "up" as two parameters, you want to pass "hi up" as a single parameter (in my case, this is a directory with spaces). In order to pass "hi up" as a single parameter, you need to surround the string in " ", so that the space is ignored. This is where Run[] breaks - when you are trying to add these " " to the 2nd parameter. i.e. This should work (but it doesn't): Run["\""<>ToFileName[thisdir, executable]<>"\"", "\"hi up\""] which should pass this to the command line (typing this directly into the command line works): "C:\theDirectory\finalproject.bat" "hi up" _Shyam Chris Chiasson wrote: > Dear Shyam Guthikonda, (cool name. what country are you from?
