Need Help??

Public Scratchpad

Here's my code:

$str = 'msxsl C:\path\foo.xml C:\path\bar.xsl -o C:\path\output.html';
`$str`;
[download]

Now, if I run that with backticks, I get the expected result. The transform happens and there's no error. If I deliberately break it:

$str = 'msxsl C:\path\foo.xml C:\BAD-path\bar.xsl -o C:\path\output.ht
+ml';
`$str`;
[download]

Now, if I run it, I need to trap the error:

Error occurred while loading document 'C:\BAD-path\bar.xsl'.

Code:   0x800c0006
The system cannot locate the object specified.
