acad / -publish / text screen - has a maximum string length ?

I am using a lisp to make PDF's in ACADE. Used to work great, just push 1 button to make a PDF of the active project. But now I have a PATH + FileName in 1 string that is 149 characters long, it has a few spaces in it but is inside "" and uses \\ between directory's. 

 

If I check the variable in VLIDE it is ok, but when I print it in the textscreen it breaks to the next line after 79 characters. This also happens when I give it to -publish, it can not find the file because it is loger than 1 text line in the text screen.

 

Maybe with CMDECHO = 0, it does not show on the textscreen but still can not find the file.

If I do a findfile with the string it finds it.

 

So the lisp string / variable is OK, but when i send it to -publish it breaks appart ! Smiley Surprised

 

 I saw the  Text Won't Wrap in "AutoCAD Text Window" message but I want the opposite. Smiley Frustrated

But this is not the solution, it should take long strings !

Can you post the string you are referring to with the path and filename?
