java cmd replacing periods with slashes?

[francisdt]

it does it throughout the command?
How do I fix it?

Command:
java -cp C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/codebase;
C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/codebase/WEBINF/lib/wc3rdpartylibs.jar;C:/ptc/Win
dchill_9.1/Windchill/codebase/Upgrade/lib/saxon.jar; C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windch
ill//codebase/Upgrade/lib/gnu-getopt.jar;C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill//codebas
e/Upgrade/lib/EvoTools.jar;C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/lib/i
e3rdpartylibs.jar com.ptc.windchill.upgrade.dust.DiagnosticToolDrive r -r -d C:/p
tc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/Evolvability-xml-logs -l 9.1 –q

It is replacing all the 9.1 with 9/1 and messing up the command?

it does it

What is the first "it"?
A batch file, the OS, java.exe?

On Windows shouldn't the path separator be a \?

[francisdt]

Thanks, I thought that as well, but I am running this command from an install manual and had run it earlier in the process with a directory without a period in the name and it worked at that time?

[Norm]

from an install manual

Don't know how to do that. I've heard of running a program from a command line or from a IDE, but never from a manual.

What happens when you use \s? Could you show the console?

Do need to have the . in a folder name?

[francisdt]

haha - yea, allow me to clarify, "it" is the program or the java execution? it is doing it to me - haha when i said from a manual, I meant from and installation document that is explaining to me how to install/upgrade the software. Here is the error when i replaced the slashes with back slashes...
Thanks for your help and interest! :)

I don't see the command line you used. Copy ALL of the console.

[francisdt]

java -cp C:\ptc\Windchill_9.1\Windchill\codebase;

Can you preserve the line ends when you paste. I can't tell where one line ends and the next one begins. Also your posting does not show ALL of the console. There are no error messages.

Please run a FULL test and copy ALL of the console and paste it here in QUOTE or CODE tags to preserve lines.

Check that there are no embedded spaces in the classpath.

[francisdt]

It is one continuous command, so assume there are no line ends. Also, if you look at previous posts, you will see the errors being returned.

[Norm]

Ok. If you can't help me help you, I'll let some one else try.

[francisdt]

Hmmmm? I am not sure how much more I can provide, but thank you for trying! : )

[Tolls]

Assuming by removing the line breaks that I have the same command you used, based on the first one you pasted you have a space.

Here it is in tags:

java -cp C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/codebase;C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/codebase/WEBINF/lib/wc3rdpartylibs.jar;C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/codebase/Upgrade/lib/saxon.jar; C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill//codebase/Upgrade/lib/gnu-getopt.jar;C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill//codebase/Upgrade/lib/EvoTools.jar;C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/lib/ie3rdpartylibs.jar com.ptc.windchill.upgrade.dust.DiagnosticToolDrive r -r -d C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/Evolvability-xml-logs -l 9.1 –q

Here's an edited version so you can see where the space is.

                      v - here
java -cp ...;...;...; C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill//codebase/Upgrade/lib/gnu-getopt.jar;C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill//codebase/Upgrade/lib/EvoTools.jar;C:/ptc/Windchill_9.1/Windchill/codebase/WEB-INF/lib/ie3rdpartylibs.jar com.ptc.windchill.upgrade.dust.DiagnosticToolDrive

With that space there it thinks the stuff after it is the classname of the main class to run.
