Subject: Re: shell-command in Windows 7

Message-ID: <125e7442-9006-2a09-f313-f2a30d69d67d@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAOj2CQQv6akxZGmFpM6WvaSSg10jDyrvXHeJvA-OoVTUZgx8ZA@mail.gmail.com>

Two problems before:

(1) I got the error message

(Shell command failed with code 1 and no output)

Even when the files / programs / directories would open as desired. This 
was still undesirable buggy behavior.

(2) Each time I launched Emacs I had to switch to the other directory 
string format to get back (1). This made no sense at all. To be specific:

(a) "E:\\Program Files\\Mozilla Firefox\\firefox.exe"

had to be switched to:

(b) "E:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/firefox.exe"

in the body of the code I cited in the first e-mail, if (a) was what I 
had the previous Emacs launch. And (b) had to be switched back to (a) if 
(b) was what I had the previous Emacs launch.

It's also possible the alternating was dependent on a Windows reset. I 
had only been launching Emacs once per Windows session.
