Subject: Quting arguments for perl subprocess
Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2006 21:00:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43F236D3.9050605@student.lu.se> (raw)

I want to do something like

            (setq sts (apply 'call-process prog nil (current-buffer) t 
args))

where prog="perl.exe" and the list args may contain things like

    file=some-file-name.txt

The file name above may contain spaces. Is there a standard way in Emacs 
to quote the file name for this? I believe it would look different on 
different OS:es.
