  You can escape a " inside a string by typing "". So a string containing
  
  I said "hello"
  
  would look:
  
  "I said ""hello"""
  
  This is VBScript fundamental, I'm sure it's not very hard to google...

  Hi Hanno, thank you very much!
  
  I have just one more problem left:
  I need to execute the command
  
  "c:\Programme\VideoMach\videomach.exe" /openseq= "C:\Users\User\Desktop\asdf"
  
  In Rhinoscript, I need to put the whole command again into "" , but this doesnÄt work.
  How can I replace or whatever these "" to avoid this error?

  Hi,
  
  as RhinoScript is Visual Basic Script, you can use the Shell object:

  Dim oShell
  Set oShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  Call oShell.Run("some_program")

  Regards

  Hit everybody,
  
  does anyone know how I can start external programs with Rhionoscript?
  For example i want to execute the command "c:\Programme\VideoMach\videomach.exe" like I would do it on the windows prompt
