$ ghci Test\ with\ spaces/Test.lhs
$ ghci Test\ with\ spaces\\Test.lhs
$ ghci "Test with space/Test.lhs"
$ ghci "Test with
space\\Test.lhs"
will give the error: can't find module `Test' (while processing "Test")
Testing
$ ghci Test\ with\ spaces/Test.lhs
$ ghci "Test with space/Test.lhs"
under Linux gives the same error.
Hence there seem to be something strange about pathnames containing
spaces under GHCi.
However trying the same thing under GHC works like a charm under both
cygwin and Linux.
Any ideas?

Hi thee,
this is most likely due to the XP shell
invoking 'ghci' as follows:
p:\ath\to\ghci c:\Documents and
Settings\foo\....
which makes it look as if multiple arguments
are given on the
command-line (indeed, that's what the argv
vector will contain.)
The registered file assocations for .hs and
.lhs takes care of quoting
the filename argument, so I'm not sure this
is worth fixing.

Enterprising souls may want to have a look at
the Registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command
and look at how the %1 arg is quoted (or
not)....

Subject: GHCi-5.04.2:
Windows Open with ... problem.
Hello.
I am having a problem using
the Open with ... on haskell-files under WinXP. The problem is this:
create a file on my desktop and then right-click and
try to open it using Open with -> ghci. I get the following error
message:
can't find module `C:\Documents'
(while processing "C:\\Documents")
Obviously GHCi incorrectly handles
white space in the path. If I run under Cygwin I can use a script
like:
c:\\ghc\\ghc-5.04.2\\bin\\ghci `cygpath -d
$1`;
But how do I solve this if I'm not using
cygwin?
Thanks,
Calle
