Use Process.Start with parameters AND spaces in path

by

Even when you use the ProcessStartInfo Class, if you have to add spaces for arguments, then the above answers won’t solve the problem. There’s a simple solution. Just add quotes around arguments. That’s all.

 string fileName = @"D:\Company Accounts\Auditing Sep-2014 Reports.xlsx";
 System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo startInfo = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo();
 startInfo.FileName = "Excel.exe";
 startInfo.Arguments = "\"" + fileName + "\"";
 System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(startInfo);

Here I’ve added escaped quotes around filename, and it works.
