Re: [PATCHES] psql \i handling ~ in specified file name

[Joshua D. Drake]

As I remember, MSDOS uses the "~" to specify short versions of long file names. I is not just msdos, it is cmd.exe which exists on (to my knowledge) all versions of windows. For example: Program Files == progra~1 I think that is enough for us to say that we are best leaving '~' expansion only for Unix. We already dump COPY in a native Win32 format, so it seems we should handle special characters in a similar native way.
