Hi,

Consider the following source file

\edef\x{\jobname}
\show\x

Run it with pdftex, you get:

\x=macro:
->"foo bar".

With luatex (0.40):

\x=macro:
->foo bar.

This is a problem eg when using LaTeX when it tries to \input\jobname.aux.

Regardless of any particular format, there is a consistency problem with pdftex,
which should be fixed, imo by making luatex behave the same as pdftex, namely
quote the file name in \jobname.

more sounds like a bug in pdftex to me, luatex also supports {some name} and you don't want {} back then

sorry, but luatex is *not* in all aspecets the same as pdftex

of course you can just overload jobname if it suits you

\let\oldjobname\jobname \def\jobname{"\oldjobname"}
