HELP!

[Alex Sudmack]

well i need to use DOS to execute a command required to resert the root password on mySQL database. But that is located in a file which has spaces in its name. I cant rename the file with no spaces cause that would mess up the server. And i cant type it in with the spaces because then it just gets the first word and says not an internal command or exteral command. so what do i do to supplement spaces and it will still see at is a directory not just one word. :::G:\Abyss Web Server\database\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt::: thats the locatoin

Alex......Just a tip .....if you have a question about DOS....
try posting it in Microsoft DOS .....
You will get quicker responses.

good luck ,

In Win9x DOS 7, that location in quotes is accepted as a command parameter.

restart "G:\Abyss Web Server\database\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt" is a valid command if your DOS command is restart.com.

Or you can explore DOS and try to figure out if g:\abyssw~1 or g:\abyssw~2 is the directory you want, and build an 8.3-compatible file path without quotes.
