Running files in folders containing blank characters

[h_amini]

To run a batch file in folder "test" I read up on system with

result = SYSTEM("C:\test\analysis.bat")

and it works. But if the folder's name has blank characters, the system reads only the characters before the first blank. For instance if the folder is "new example" and I use

result = SYSTEM("C:\new example\analysis.bat")

the following error occurs:

'C:\new' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Could someone let me know how to solve it?

Many thanks

Try this :
result = SYSTEM('"C:new exampleanalysis.bat"')
or
result = SYSTEM("""C:new exampleanalysis.bat""")

Pathes with blank must be enclosed with quotes.

Thank you very much for this. They both work.
