WScript.Arguments won't parse double-quotes within arguments

[mingfai]

hi,

i have problems getting my arguments containing the double-quote properly
parsed into WScript.Arguments.

e.g. wscript myscript.vbs ab"cd

WScript.Arguments(0) returns abcd

i've tried using '/' before the argument, or using 2 double-quotes to
represent one (as in VB), but still no luck.

please advise! thanks.

You can't pass arguments that contain double quotes as arguments to a WSH hosted script. This is an
unavoidable limitation due to the command line parsing in the host EXEs (wscript/cscript).

You can use single quotes in the arguments that you replace within the script with double quotes or
whatever hack you find more palatable ;-)...
