Re: [Dev-luatex] os.spawn and argv[1] with sapces

Hi,

I have encountered a problem with os.spawn(arg) on Windows. If arg[1]='foo bar' and arg[0]=nil, then the spawned process gets 'foo' as argv[0] and 'bar' as argv[1]. This might be expected, since according to docs, os.spawn doesn't do any argument processing.

Let's put it this way: windows command line processing does not agree with my neurons, so I have stayed way from it as much as possible (and will continue to do so). A good, clean patch would be welcome of course, but I myself will not spend any more time on the stuff, not even for bug reports, as all that would be accomplished by doing so is that it would give me a headache, and there are much more pleasing ways to reach that state. Best wishes, Taco
