Improve Run\RunWait Target parameter documentation Topic is solved

[TAC109]

A number of users have problems with the Target parameter when it contains spaces. I’m proposing this change to the documentation to clarify that quotes can be used to specify the exact target to use.

Replace the second paragraph of the Target parameter with the following two paragraphs:

To pass parameters, add them immediately after the program or document name.

If the program/document name or a parameter contains spaces, it is safest to enclose it in double quotes (even though it may work without them in some cases).

@Ragnar Are you happy to make this documentation change, or would you like me to create a PR?

Cheers

To pass parameters, add them immediately after the program or document name.

@Ragnar A nitpick: the "immediately after" phrase is incorrect here because at least one separating space is required. The sentence could be changed to something like

To pass parameters, add a space after the program or document name and then add the parameters, each also separated by a space.

This could be added to the example section before the more complex example #3

Run a program and pass two parameters. The second parameter is a string that contains spaces so must be enclosed in quotes.
Run MyProgram.exe abc "string with spaces"

It's not incorrect, it's just inaccurate, but it doesn't have to be that accurate. I've added an abstract example right after each case - that should be enough to understand.

I don't understand what the difference between incorrect and inaccurate means in this context. If the user adds a separating space the command works. If not the command fails. So why not explicitly document that the space is required? Other parts of the documentation, e.g. the "GUI Control Types" page, seem to use the phrase "immediately after" to instead describe syntax where an inbetween space is forbidden.
