  Re: Trouble creating building instructions using lpub and mpd file
 
(...) I apologize in advance if this is a stupid solution but what about this: Is there a way for you to check for spaces in the file name as lpub attempts to open it? If so, can you then abort the file open process and throw a pop-up message that (...) (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad, FTX)
 
  Re: Trouble creating building instructions using lpub and mpd file
 
(...) Hi Allan, In light of this article: (URL) I now have a dilema on this topic.

  Re: Question for the LSC. Blanks in file names legal?
 
(...) Yah, I think that was the first official part with sub-part files. (...) I'd lean toward updating the files with 's/' references to 's\'. The PT is definitely coded toward using only backslashes. Steve (20 years ago, 6-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Question for the LSC. Blanks in file names legal?
 
(...) You might want to take a look at 2593.dat (including the author ;-). (In your defense, that's a really old file.)

  Re: Question for the LSC. Blanks in file names legal?
 
(...) See below. I've rearranged the order of the bullets to fit my comments. (...) Change to no whitespace characters, this way we exclude tabs, etc. (...) How about: Long file names are allowed. File names may be restricted to 8.3 format at the (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Question for the LSC. Blanks in file names legal?
 
(...) I like it Steve. Thanks much. I've gotten problem reports over the last week or so that brought this to light for me. MLCad allows blanks in file names, and LPub percieves them as separate tokens in a type 1 text line, and ignores the extra (...) (20 years ago, 5-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Question for the LSC. Blanks in file names legal?
