Hi.
I use the following code, in a batch file to create a tags file for my
code:
chdir "e:\myroot dir\"

d:\emacs\bin\etags   --regex="/[ \t]*[dD][eE][Ff][Ii][Gg][Nn]:[
\t]*[a-zA-Z0-9_]*/" --regex="/[ \t]*[dD][Ee][Ff][Uu][Nn]:[
\t]*[a-zA-Z0-9_]*/"  workingdirectory\*.iks etc\*.iks

This produces a single tags file at the myroot dir directory.

My problem is that I want to include all .iks files in directories whose
names have spaces in them.  I cannot figure out how to get etags to
understand the directory name as such, and not like 2 separate words

For example
d:\emacs\bin\etags   --regex="/[ \t]*[dD][eE][Ff][Ii][Gg][Nn]:[
\t]*[a-zA-Z0-9_]*/" --regex="/[ \t]*[dD][Ee][Ff][Uu][Nn]:[
\t]*[a-zA-Z0-9_]*/"  workingdirectory\*.iks _weekly  build\*.iks

any help would be appreciated.
