Hi to all,

I have a problem with this code

for /f "delims=" %I in ('mshta "about:<OBJECT id=HTMLDlgHelper classid="CLSID:3050F4E1-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B"></OBJECT><SCRIPT language="VBSCRIPT">Sub window_onload : a=HtmlDlgHelper.object.openfiledlg("C:\windows.iso", ,"*.iso|","Select"): CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetStandardStream(1).WriteLine a : msgbox a : close : end sub</SCRIPT>"') do @echo %I

I need to escape the pipe in the part "*.iso|". I have tried with a classic caret ^ but not work for me.

Does it work If you add ^ ?

Code: Select all

for /f "delims=" %I in ('mshta "about:<OBJECT id=HTMLDlgHelper classid="CLSID:3050F4E1-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B"></OBJECT><SCRIPT language="VBSCRIPT">Sub window_onload : a=HtmlDlgHelper.object.openfiledlg("C:\windows.iso", ,"*.iso^|","Select"): CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetStandardStream(1).WriteLine a : msgbox a : close : end sub</SCRIPT>"') do @echo %I

I can't test in full if it's the intended outcome, however an additional escaping of the pipe prevents the syntax error.
So ^^^| as opposed to ^|

Code: Select all

for /f "delims=" %I in ('mshta "about:<OBJECT id=HTMLDlgHelper classid="CLSID:3050F4E1-98B5-11CF-BB82-00AA00BDCE0B"></OBJECT><SCRIPT language="VBSCRIPT">Sub window_onload : a=HtmlDlgHelper.object.openfiledlg("C:\windows.iso", ,"*.iso^^^|","Select"): CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").GetStandardStream(1).WriteLine a : msgbox a : close : end sub</SCRIPT>"') do @echo/"%I"
