Multiple Strings as Commandline argument

Question

Hello people,
Everything is working properly, but I have a problem starting a method via command line argument.
int main(int argc, char** argv)
     char  *p2Jar =     "-Djava.class.path=C:\\path\\myJAR.jar";
     char  *p2Lib =     "";
     JNI_IF JNIInterfaceObj(p2Jar, p2Lib);
     JNIInterfaceObj.setClassName("package/depth/MyClass");;
     JNIInterfaceObj.setMethodName("main");
     JNIInterfaceObj.getVM()->DestroyJavaVM();
     return 0;
void JNI_IF::setMethodName(char* methodName)
     mid =     env->GetStaticMethodID(cls, methodName, "([Ljava/lang/String;)V");
     const char * t_argv = "-m tomtom_utrecht_2008_04.db3 -i \"L;ID;0,0,15280001229524,15280001349498,-15280001349500\" -if LOCATION_STRING -of BINARY64";
     jobjectArray applicationArgs = env->NewObjectArray(1, env->FindClass("java/lang/String"), NULL);
     jstring applicationArg0 = env->NewStringUTF(t_argv);
     env->SetObjectArrayElement(applicationArgs, 0, applicationArg0);
     if (mid != NULL) env->CallStaticVoidMethod(cls, mid, applicationArgs);
     else printf("Method %s corrupted!\n", methodName);
}the command line argument is not accepted. the real string i have to deliver to the function is:
-m tomtom_utrecht_2008_04.db3 -i "L;ID;0,0,15280001229524,15280001349498,-15280001349500" -if LOCATION_STRING -of BINARY64
As you can see, a *"* is used in that string. I quoted it with the *\*
Is that wrong quoting?
Does anybody have any hints for me?
Thank you!
Cheers huck

JNI_IF is a kind of a handler, which triggers a method from a jar file, which I need in my C++ project. That myJAR.jar which demands the mentioned string as parameter.
With that earlier code you've mentioned in the previous post, there was the "70" as inputparameter and that worked properly.
The thing what have been changed is, I have a " in my string itself.Nope.
You have CODE which has nothing to do with java nor jni to which WE do not have access.
Let us call that code X.
X is doing something. WE don't know what. And it isn't working. Since we don't have X we can't possibly tell you what is wrong.
One thing I can tell you - you are embedding double quotes in your string. Since that presumably isn't working it is pretty certain that that by itself is not going to lead to a solution. However to verify you should print your arg string before using it - JUST before you use it. Then you can verify the form.
Other than that I can provide some guesses.
1. X is calling an external executable. X does not have a way to correctly parametrize arguments. Or it does and you are not using it. If the first then you are probably out of luck. If the second then you should figure it out.
2. X is doing some sort of pseudo argument passing mechanism. Either you do not understand how it works or the code is doing it wrong. Solution to the first is to figure out the correct way. Second best you can do is try some other way of doing it.
3. You are attempting to parametrize or escape something. The question is what. Normally the idiom (quotes) would only be needed with spaces in the parameter. Presumably you tried it without quotes. There might be a way to escape the '-' (only thing I can see that would need double quotes). You MIGHT do that with \\- (two back slashes - not one.) But there might be some other way as well.
