Yes a text string starting with '@' used the rest of the string as a

Adding a space before it is a typical solution,

But reading the text "@(path}"   from a file or input stream  text:@file
will also solve it.  Also stops problems of escapeing shell meta
characters, and handling newlines, and unicode characters.
