The problem is exec node on 1st deployment is not executed. But on redeploy without changes it is working great

I am now trying out with bigExec node.  
as EXEC node is not working out for me.

Can you please help me in sending the file paths(containing ) as strings(the string that contains three strings separated by a space, each string containing a full path to a filename) like above to the Big Exec node?

I need to send below to bigEXEC node as a parameters  
"""+msg.payload.inputFilePath+""" +" "+ """+ msg.payload.outputFilePath +""" +" "+ """+msg.payload.logicFilePath+""";

I mean to say i need to send 3 file paths in a string like below with real data  
"C:\input\_sample-xml1.xml" "C:\transformed\_input\_sample-xml1.xml" "C:\Users\DecryptedXML-text.imo"

with normal exec node, could you modify the function "sending parameters" to convert backslashes to forward slashes & add some `node.warn` so we can see what you are generating...

```auto
//check before
node.warn(["msg.payload.outputFoldePath", msg.payload.outputFoldePath])
node.warn(["msg.payload.outputFileName", msg.payload.outputFileName])
node.warn(["msg.payload.logicFilePath", msg.payload.logicFilePath])

//replace \ with /
const outputFilePath = msg.payload.outputFilePath.replace(/\\/g, "/");
const outputFoldePath = msg.payload.outputFoldePath.replace(/\\/g, "/")
const logicFilePath = msg.payload.logicFilePath.replace(/\\/g, "/")

//check after
node.warn(["outputFilePath", outputFilePath])
node.warn(["outputFoldePath", outputFoldePath])
node.warn(["logicFilePath", logicFilePath])

const filePath = `"${outputFoldePath}" "${outputFilePath}" "${logicFilePath}"`;
node.warn(["filePath", filePath])
msg.payload = filePath;

return msg;

```

Thank you everyone for the support.  
The issue has been automatically solved when i updated the node-red version to ~1.3.5.

Please be more explicit for future readers.

What issue? The `exec` node issue? the `bigExec` issue?

What version of node-red were you using?

* * *

PS: V2.2.2 is the latest version of node-red!
