VICE, breaking and monitor commands

Hope someone can help me with this very specific, probably simple question :)

So I am running Vice with breakpoints.txt file.
In this file I put:

watch ffe0

so if read/write happens to this address, Vice breaks into the monitor. Fine.
I also want to autoexecute specific monitor command when that happens, so I use:

command 1 "(whatever)"

This works perfectly, however I need to do a command with file name:
-> s "file.prg" 0 1000 1fff
However I try to do it, it doesn't work.

command 1 "s "file.prg" 0 1000 1fff" = nope.
command 1 "s \"file.prg\" 0 1000 1fff" = nope.

What is the correct syntax there to have quotation marks within the quotation marks? :)

(C:$e5d1) command 1 "s \"foo\" 0 0800 0900"
Setting checkpoint 1 command to: s "foo" 0 0800 0900

that seems to work for me (on linux - you are on windows?)

Backslashing double quotes works for me also. In Windows.
But directly in monitor window.

seems to work as expected for me using a command file too

$ cat commands.txt
break ea31
command 1 "s \"irq.dump\" 0 0400 0500"
x
$ ./src/x64sc -default -moncommands commands.txt

#1 (Stop on  exec fce2)    0/$000,   6/$06
.C:fce2  A2 FF       LDX #$FF       - A:00 X:00 Y:00 SP:00 ..-..IZ.          6
BREAK: 1  C:$ea31  (Stop on exec)
Setting checkpoint 1 command to: s "irq.dump" 0 0400 0500

Saving file `irq.dump' from $0400 to $0500
#1 (Stop on  exec ea31)  206/$0ce,  14/$0e
.C:ea31  20 EA FF    JSR $FFEA      - A:00 X:E6 Y:15 SP:e6 ..-..IZC    2076872

(C:$ea31)

Wacek: please try the above, and if that fails, paste the exact output/error messages. You probably also want to check if the the current working directory is correct when the command file executes (perhaps put a pwd command into it)

OK, solved. It apparently was a bug in earlier version of winvice :) works correctly on the later versions.

Yeah, I know, I know, it's my own fault for using obsolete versions ;)

Thanks anyway!
