No Double Quotes in WSH Command-line Parameters
Never had to pass command-line parameters containing double quotes to a Windows Scripting Host script before, so I only learned today that you can't.
Thanks goes to the ubiquitous Michael Harris for clarifying this way back in 2001:
You can't pass arguments that contain double quotes as arguments to a WSH hosted script. This is an unavoidable limitation due to the command line parsing in the host EXEs (wscript/cscript).
Live and learn.

Hi Dipanker,
Maybe. Will you be targeting an existing wokbook? Can the workbook contain some VBA logic, or can you install an add-in? If these things are true, you should be able to take action on the workbook open event, parse the command-line, and place a value in a cell, then, I suppose, save/print/export/whatever the workbook, all automatically.
Let me know if this comes close to what you're asking.
