Hi,

I am calling a C#.net exe(sendmail.exe) from the command file which passes the parameter to it and an email will be sent to me from the exe displaying the paramet content in the body of the email.

the parameter is directory that will vary based on the server i am running (eg:\\nas*)

whenever i pass this parameter to the exe it is taking \n as new line character and
something as below is printing. the server name is \\na1234567 i am passing the same parameter to the exe.

CSS

\
aa1234567

Could some please let me know what can i modify in the command file from where i am passing the parameter so that \n wont be considered as new line character in the exe and \\na1234567 is displayed in the body of the email ?

Read his question more carefully, he says he's calling it from the command line. C# syntax won't help.

There is a report for that, "Not an Answer". It helps keep clean these out.
