Subject: bug#8541: start-process fails when both the program path and an argument contain spaces
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2015 12:29:41 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAM-tV-9w5RmN--P_Q6cajKmRmx0jJC8_i3=PV+3wZsngCaBnXA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <BANLkTimNmxgwPT+6b_xGfpJmauKfG8UUPw@mail.gmail.com>
I believe this was fixed along with #18745 (while searching for it I
happened to stumble upon this one).
A nicer workaround suggested by Eli on that bug is to use w32-short-file-name:
(start-process "name" "buffer"
(w32-short-file-name "D:\\tmp\\xxx yyy\\foo.bat")
"yada yada")
