You could also define an escape character, to accept the character following
(including spaces) as part of the string. However, as the standard allows both /
and \ as directory separators, it would require some character other than \ (a
common choice) to be used. But as long as you use a character that is currently
invalid, it would be backward compatible.

I only asked for a recommendation, not a requirement. (...) (20 years ago, 10-Apr-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
