Follow-up Comment #6, bug #55725 (project octave):

In general, single quotes sometimes work and sometimes don't on Windows. It
seems to depend on the program that is called.
E.g. the following creates too directories called "'Test" and "space'":

mkdir 'Test space'


Double quotes seem to be the safer choice.
