White Space Problem in file path

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

I've developed a console application that reads path of image file and then converts it into grayscale.
The application works fine with file path that does not contain white spaces, but fails if path contains white space.
How to rectify this?

Thanks for your time.

Show how you are using the path. The API should handle whitespaces

I'm using Bitmap OriginalFile = (Bitmap)Image.FromFile(filepath);

Solution 2

Assuming your path is something like C:\Users\Nikhil\My Documents\filename.jpg then your command should be:

program "C:\Users\Nikhil\My Documents\filename.jpg"

Note the quote characters around the path.

Solution 1

May be this will help,

C#

string path= @"File Path";
path= path.Replace(" " , "");

and there is also a good method in C#, String.Trim()

path.Trim();

but Trim will removes all whitespace characters from the start and the end of the string but

Thanks, this solution worked, but i only used string path= @"File Path";

wondering what is @ and why to replace " " with ""?

@ is used for ignoring escape characters.
