The system command should appear in quotes (") as opposed to ticks "`" in
this case. Of course that means you will have to wrestle with escape
characters to get the quotes within quotes syntax correct. I find it
easiest to first build my command in string and then feed it to the system
command. That bails me out of a lot of syntax trial and error.
string $callCmp = "start cmpPackage.exe " + $workSpace + "
directory\\fileName.ext";
print ($callCmp + "\n"); //This is a debug line so the script ed will show
you exactly what you are feeding to the system command
system ($callCmp);
It has been a while since I have done this, though. You might need to
include "system" in the string and eval the string instead.

Subject: Mel SYSTEM calls
I'm trying to write a mel script that will open a cmp file based on the
workSpace variable and a set cmp name.
EG:
system ('start cmpPackage.exe " + $workSpace + "directory\\fileName.ext');
I'm trying to run the script off the top of my head and there maybe syntax
problems, but hopefully you get the point...
Any ideas?
