Topic: Problem with File_Open() and Long Filenames (1 of 2), Read 36 times Conf: VEDIT Macro Language Support From: Mark Novembrino Date: Thursday, April 14, 2005 05:14 PM I am doing the following command to get a directory and dump it into a buffer: Out_Ins() Dir("*.xml",NOMSG+SUPPRESS) Out_Ins(CLEAR) I'm then copying each filename using Reg_Copy_Block and opening the file using File_Open(@r). This works fine for all files except for those that have spaces in the filename. For files that have spaces in the filename, the File_Open(@r) command does not work.

For files that have spaces in the filename, the File_Open(@r) command does not work. Yes, you need this syntax: File_Open("|@(r)") The reason is that since the File_Open() supports options such as "-a", it needs literal spaces within double-quotes. Ted.
