TProcessUTF8 not running certain commands

[carlangas]

I am trying to run commands through TProcessUTF8. I want to convert between different formats using various tools, including postscript. To manipulate images, I use imagemagick's convert.

I need to quote with double inverted commas to allow correct translation of file names (I am using Linux).

If I use

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.     Command.CommandLine:='convert  "/tmp/01 01.png" "/tmp/out/test 01.ps"';
2.     Command.Execute;  

Everything is fine. Unfortunately, the resulting output file tends to be huge, so I try to make it smaller:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1.     Command.CommandLine:='convert  "/tmp/01 01.png" -compress jpeg eps3:"/tmp/out/test 01.ps"';
2.     Command.Execute;  

But, once I add some parameters, it seems to do nothing.

How should I send the command to make it work properly?

Thanks

You have double space in your command. You should set TProcessUTF8.Executable to the binary you want to invoke and then use TProcessUTF8.Parameters to specify parameters:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Command.Executable:= 'convert';
2. Command.Parameters.Clear;
3. Command.Parameters.Add('/tmp/01 01.png');
4. Command.Parameters.Add('-compress');
5. Command.Parameters.Add('jpeg');
6. Command.Parameters.Add('eps3:/tmp/out/test 01.ps');

Thanks. It works perfectly after that. I don't know what I did wrong when I tried to use parameters before, but now it is right.
