I see there has been some discussion about the quoting of commands to run on windows - https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl/pull/211#issuecomment-51562782) In particular there was discussion about exposing a flag to disable automatically quoting arguments:

Or are there plans for it to be done? Are there any workarounds that still allow me to use the standard Julia run command? Note the above workaround of calling via windows cmd does not work since arguments are quoted with single quotes. -- Greg On Friday, March 20, 2015 at 2:50:17 AM UTC+11, [email protected] wrote: > This works nicely. > However I had to change the command to > > command = "cmd /K start \"\" $pdfname" > > start seems to need the cmd.exe shell to work. > > Thank you very much. >
