ImageMagick command line

Post by CDUB »

Good afternoon! I'm developing a rudimentary web app. that allows small scale manipulation via the ImageMagick command line. When I attempt to save the image to my local Visual Studio folder to display the images "on the fly", I'm having trouble which I think is related to the spaces in the folder name (Visual Studio 2008). Naturally the string is within quotes and I've tried adding additional single quotes to accomodate the command line arguments, to no avail...HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!
Thanks

use double quotes or use re.escape() with python

if you post details of your code it would be easier to help

See http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#conversion for general hints on how to convert Unix command lines and scripts into their Windows / DOS equivalent. The section http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/windows/#filenames gives hints on what to do about filenames containing blanks.
