When I try to run it I get an error python: can't open file '/my': So the system command is wrong. I understand that I need to escape the space in the command, like this p = "/my\ super/script.py" now is there a function in haskell for this. a sort of sanitizer for FilePath when used by system.

The elements may contain spaces. -- Frerich Raabe - ra...@froglogic.com www.froglogic.com - Multi-Platform GUI Testing ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 10:19:37 +0000 From: PICCA Frederic-Emmanuel <frederic-emmanuel.pi...@synchrotron-soleil.fr> To: "The Haskell-Beginners Mailing List - Discussion of primarily beginner-level topics related to Haskell" <beginners@haskell.org> Subject: Re: [Haskell-beginners] system and FilePath with space Message-ID: <a2a20ec3b8560d408356cac2fc148e53bb332...@sun-dag3.synchrotron-soleil.fr> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" thanks but I do not have a recent enough ghc in order to use this method (debian jessie) maybe I can use proc in order to prepare my command line ? ------------------------------ Message: 4 Date: Thu, 26 Jan 2017 12:21:56 +0200 From: Michael Snoyman <mich...@snoyman.com> To: The Haskell-Beginners Mailing List - Discussion of primarily beginner-level topics related to Haskell <beginners@haskell.org> Subject: Re: [Haskell-beginners] system and FilePath with space Message-ID: <caka2jgk8sq5jdgq+ggnkgpdyrflr17sn1pz3nqczhjx+to+...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" You can use the rawSystem function on older versions of the process package.
