.net - Passing quotes in Process.Start arguments

Question

In .NET i'm running this line

var p = Process.Start(@"cmd", @"/C mklink /H c:z c:za");

This works all fine however I'm worried that if one of the two args for mklink has a space that this wont work correctly. So I added "" around both parameters. Executing this line no longer worked and when I wrote "" instead it still didn't work.

How do I write quotes when I am executing cmd /C?

Answer 1

string sourcePath = @"c:z";
string targetPath = @"c:za";

string arguments = string.Format(""{0}" "{1}"", sourcePath, targetPath);

var p = Process.Start("cmd", "/C mklink /H " + arguments);

Working example:

string sourcePath = @"c:documents and settingsharvey robertMy DocumentsTest.txt";
string targetPath = @"c:est";

string s = string.Format(""{0}" "{1}"", sourcePath, targetPath);
Process.Start("cmd", @"/c copy " + s);
