Hello
I try to execute a command using system.
my code is like this
system (unwords ["python", p])
where
p :: FilePath
p = "/my super/script.py"
has you can see this path contain a space.
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.
Thanks
Frederic

An easier way to execute programs is to use the functions defined in
System.Process, e.g.:
import System.Process
main :: IO ()
main = callProcess "/usr/bin/python" ["/my super/script.py"]
Note that 'callProcess' takes a list of strings, each element being one
argument. The elements may contain spaces.

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 ?

You can use the rawSystem function on older versions of the process package.
