I would like to pass paths to shell (extrenal command line programs) on MS Windows. The paths may contain \n, \t etc. (Eg. c: \directory-1\new-dir\temp...). However, the string is "evaluated" and only the result arrives to the shell program. (In the above example: c: \directory-1 ew-dir emp...) I try to use `call-process-shell-command'. I know I could use double back-slash (e.g. c:\directory-1\\new-dir\ \temp...), but I want to be able to handle any paths in their "natural" form. How to do it?
Where do these strings come from? -- Kevin Rodgers Denver, Colorado, USA
