Running process that has space characters in its path name with emacs on Windows 7

For F# mode in emacs, one need the following line in .emacs. The problem is that because of space between file path, C-c C-s doesn't work.

(setq fsharp-compiler "C:/Program Files/Microso开发者_如何转开发ft F#/v4.0/fsc.exe")

I had to copy the F# compilers to the directory that doesn't have space in its file path.

(setq fsharp-compiler "C:/app/fsharp/fsc.exe")

How to run a process that has a space in its path name with emacs?

First, make sure you have a recent version of the F# mode (that was a bug fixed in June). Then, follow the instructions in the README file!

This line is given as an example: (setq fsharp-compiler "\"c:\\Program Files\\Microsoft F#\\v4.0\\Fsc.exe\"")

Have you tried using %20 in place of space? So the statement becomes

(setq fsharp-compiler "C:/Program Files/Microsoft%20F#/v4.0/fsc.exe")

I haven't tried it though but it works with the file import. like the following works,

[[file:C:\Users\siddh\Downloads\Google%20Chrome\joker#.jpg]]

this also works

[[file:C:\Users\siddh\Downloads\Google Chrome\joker#.jpg]]

Just sharing my input. Hope it helps.
