@Result = qqx { C:/Windows/System32/fsutil.exe usn readdata \"$FileName\"
}.lines;
Doesn't windows do something special for files with spaces in them? Hm,
$ type "hi mom" > "test 1"
$ dir test<F8>
$ dir "test 1"
but, you're right, I couldn't find a combination of dbl, single, q, qq, qqx, qx
that'd let me run
dir "test 1"
via qqx or qx - windows is funny that way, I guess.
