You seem to be using ', which is a literal. Oh, I see. You have *SPACES* in file names. This *ALWAYS* leads to suffering. Quoting a filename does not make it ok; it's still multiple words. If you want to keep such evil names, you'll have to escape those spaces with \ (backslash). A better idea is to get all the spaces out of filenames. I only allow letters, dot, and underscore. You also have hyphens, which have meaning on some operating systems. -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
