(And in any case, the examples above should answer this amusing comment, immediately following those lines:
-- We don't want to put the cmd into a single -- argument, because cmd.exe will not try to split it up. Instead, -- we just tack the command on the end of the cmd.exe command line, -- which partly works. There seem to be some quoting issues, but -- I don't have the energy to find+fix them right now (ToDo). --SDM -- (later) Now I don't know what the above comment means. sigh.
What that comment means is that how CMD.EXE handles spaces is Windows-version-dependent. On the other hand, I *think* it's mostly consistent between XP and Windows 7 --- and I feel sorry for anyone forced to use an older version. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
