I have a variable tCommand whose contents are: "C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin\diff.exe" ....<other stuff>
To clarify, the quote chars are in tCommand If I execute it with put shell(tCommand) into temp ... temp contains "'C:\Program' is not recognized as an internal or external command" If I copy and paste the contents of tCommand into a Windows Command Prompt window, it works fine. It seems like LC is somehow swallowing the quote characters around the program file name, causing the space after "Program" to be the end of the program file name. I'm probably missing something obvious but can't figure out what!
