    Muti-parameter for System.diagnostics.process.start() ???

    Hello,
    I want to ask this:

    If i do: System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("c:\lame", "--preset
    standard c:\blabla.wav c:\blabla.mp3") it works.

    But i don't want this. I want my 2 textboxes must take place as
    variable like: System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("c:\lame", "--preset
    standard textbox1" textbox1.text +
    textbox2.text). But that doesn't work. Meanwhile textboxes are the
    filename paths.

    How can i run my process with more than one parameter using user
    variables like placed in textboxes?

    Very thanks.

      System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("c:\lame","--preset
      standard"+textb ox1.text+" "+textbox2.text )

          Mybad you also probably need to put a space after standard in my reply
          below.

          System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("c:\lame","--preset standard
          "+textbox1.text +" "+textbox2.text )

              This should work:

              System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("c:\lame", _
              "--preset standard textbox1" + textbox1.text + textbox2.text).

              You were missing one plus sign. If you copied wrong and actually had the
              plus sign, then it should have worked. You may need to quote some of the
              strings, if they contain spaces. Spaces are assumed to separate the
              arguments, so quoting it will allow for a space in an argument.

              Hope this helps.

                  Andrew is correct, that there should be a + " " + between the two textbox
                  items.

                      For hard to read concatenations, I tend to use the String.Format()
                      option:

                      Process.Start(" C:\lame", _
                      String.Format("--preset standard {0} {1}", textBox1.Text,
                      textBox2.Text))

                      (imo) It makes spacing and other concerns much easier to look at.

                      Thanks,

                          Thanks all :) Multi-parameter launch is OK now but i couldn't hide my
                          process while processing. It's still shown on the screen.

                          Dim myProcess As System.Diagnost ics.Process = New
                          System.Diagnost ics.Process()
                          myProcess.Start Info.WindowStyl e =
                          System.Diagnost ics.ProcessWind owStyle.Hidden
                          myProcess = System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("c:\lame",
                          "--preset standard" + textbox1.text + " " +
                          textbox2.text).
                          myProcess.WaitF orExit()
                          MsgBox("Convers ion Completed Successfully",
                          MsgBoxStyle.Inf ormation, "Completed" )
