Hi
Thanks for the answer. It appears as if XP calls ghci via
"p::\ath\to\ghci" "c:\Documents and Settings\foo\...."
i.e. with quotes.=20
Trying to start ghci via cygwin using any of=20
$ ghci Test\ with\ spaces/Test.lhs=20
$ ghci Test\ with\ spaces\\Test.lhs=20
$ ghci "Test with space/Test.lhs"
$ ghci "Test with space\\Test.lhs"
will give the error: can't find module `Test' (while processing "Test")
Testing=20
$ ghci Test\ with\ spaces/Test.lhs=20
$ ghci "Test with space/Test.lhs"
under Linux gives the same error.=20
Hence there seem to be something strange about pathnames containing =
spaces under GHCi.
However trying the same thing under GHC works like a charm under both =
cygwin and Linux.
Any ideas?

Hi thee,
this is most likely due to the XP shell invoking 'ghci' as follows:
p:\ath\to\ghci c:\Documents and Settings\foo\....
which makes it look as if multiple arguments are given on the
command-line (indeed, that's what the argv vector will contain.)
The registered file assocations for .hs and .lhs takes care of quoting
the filename argument, so I'm not sure this is worth fixing.

Enterprising souls may want to have a look at the Registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command
and look at how the %1 arg is quoted (or not)....

Hello.
I am having a problem using the Open with ... on haskell-files under =
WinXP. The problem is this: create a file on my desktop and then =
right-click and try to open it using Open with -> ghci. I get the =
following error message:
can't find module `C:\Documents' (while processing "C:\\Documents")
Obviously GHCi incorrectly handles white space in the path. If I run =
under Cygwin I can use a script like:
c:\\ghc\\ghc-5.04.2\\bin\\ghci `cygpath -d $1`;
But how do I solve this if I'm not using cygwin?=20
Thanks, Calle
