You mean like C:\PROGRA~1? I don't think 8.3 conversion exists any more. I think it went out with Windows 95.
Can you surround the argument with double-quotes? --Rob From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Scott Evans Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 10:55 AM To: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com Subject: Converting paths with spaces Within my ant build script, I have a legacy program that is failing because the workspace name has a space in it, and so it's failing as the whole path isn't getting passed in as an argument to this program. It really isn't a solution at this time to change the project name to one without spaces, so I'm wondering if anyone has any quick/dirty suggestions on how to convert, within Ant, a path which has spaces in it into an 8.3 type path.
