I have the following PowerShell script for verifying my SVN repositories:
$SVNAdminDir = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin';
$RepositoryDir = 'C:\My Repositories\App1';
$_cmd = "`"$SVNAdminDir`\svnadmin`" verify `"$RepositoryDir`"";
Write-Host $_cmd; # Copying this into the command prompt runs without an issue...
cmd.exe /c $_cmd; # It's when I try to execute the command from PS that I get the error.
But when I try to execute it, I'm receiving the following error message:
cmd.exe : 'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
At line:5 char:12
+ cmd.exe <<<< /c $_cmd;
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: ('C:\Program' is...ternal command,:String) [], RemoteException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
operable program or batch file.
Since I'm essentially setting $cmd = '"C:\Program Files (x86)\VisualSVN Server\bin\svnadmin" verify "C:\My Repositories\App1"'; with the double quotes inside of the single quotes, I was expecting the space in C:\Program Files (x86)\... to be passed correctly.
I suspect there's something trivial with the string that I'm missing...
