从NodeJS启动Windows程序

Question

I know this has been answered a couple of times before, but that didn't work for me.

My Code is:

var cp = require("child_process");
cp.exec("C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe");

When I start the JS file with NodeJS it doesn't do anything. Can someone help me with this?

Answer 1

You have to escape your backslashes and quote the path because it contains a space:

var cp = require("child_process");
cp.exec('"C:\\Program Files\\VideoLAN\\VLC\\vlc.exe"');
