Help, I am aware of all that the xp_cmdshell can do once you have it and it runs with the authority/context that you need. While dumpster diving for .bat, .sql, .log, .iss , .cmd or .bak files I sometimes want to see the contents of the file with a quick NT DOS command: xp_cmdshell "type c:\program files\esm\agent.iss" The NT TYPE command works if I enclose the whole drive:\path with double quotes - the space in between the program files is the problem I cannot figure out the syntax for adding double quotes around this - inside the above xp_cmdshell command. I have searched the web and found good sql references - but have not found out how to get those "" inside the xp_cmdshell. anyone ? sending the file via TFTP is not always allowed or advisable - since most IDS can be easily setup to see all tftp get/puts - also - I am aware of the other ways to get the file - sharing out the drive etc.. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
