Premiere Pro Command Line script path with whitespace

[kevin_Garubba]

I'm having trouble executing a script via command line when there is a whitespace in the path.

For example, this works:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2021\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" /C es.process "C:\Users\kevin\OneDrive\Documents\scripts\hello.jsx"

But this does not work:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2021\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" /C es.process "C:\Users\kevin\OneDrive\Documents\my scripts\hello.jsx"

^What happens is Premiere Pro launches with no action - just a plain open project screen.

I understand that it is generally bad practice to have a whitespace anywhere in your directory path structure, but with this project, I unfortunately do not have the option to change the names around.

I've tried adding extra escape slashes but this did not work:

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2021\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" /C es.process "C:\\Users\\kevin\\OneDrive\\Documents\\my\ scripts\\hello.jsx"

And I've also tried both variations of single(' "  " ') and double (" '  ' ") quotes, but this also does not work: 

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2021\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" /C es.process "'C:\Users\kevin\OneDrive\Documents\my scripts\hello.jsx'"

"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2021\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe" /C es.process '"C:\Users\kevin\OneDrive\Documents\my scripts\hello.jsx"'

Any thoughts or ideas I could try? I may be missing something plainly obvious so I'd appreciate anything! Thanks!

Seems you need to escape whitespace, what if you try one of those methods?
