Subject: bug#8439: [PATCH] ffap.el -- detect paths with spaces (v2)
Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:36:48 -0400 (EDT)	[thread overview]

Eli, Andrew:

What Jari did is an excellent solution (increment cheeking if file exists).
From a user point of view it is very powerful and useful.

Marking a region is trivial but way too costly for me. I want to be one keystroke 
away from getting this file. On Windows I use these type of paths:

c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program Files/Hummingbird/Connectivity/14.00/Default User/PerUser Settings.ini
c:\Program Files\Open Text Evaluation Media\Open Text Exceed 14 x86\Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\14.00\Default User\PerUser Settings.ini

c:/Program Files/Open Text Evaluation Media/Open Text Exceed 14 x86/Program Files/Hummingbird/
c:\Program Files\Open Text Evaluation Media\Open Text Exceed 14 x86\Program Files\Hummingbird\

With Jari solution I can get to the file/dir in one keystroke.
I think that this is the power of emacs. No?

Thanks,

Yigal
