QEDITOR doesn't like paths with <spaces> in it.

Hi all,

I just wondered if you guys already noticed that when you safe an .asm file on your desktop and try to assemble it using the option in QEDITOR  it won't let you since it can't find the file. It looks like it can't handle the <space> in "Documents and settings", but if you go to the commandprompt and assemble and link the file manually it works like a charm. So it definitely is a QEDITOR "bug".

Perhaps it would be a nice idea to solve this with the next release  :green2

For the rest, great program  :U

scorpion,

I know about the problem and it is to do with the way QE parses the path and file name to pass to the batch files that run ML and LINK. The easiest solution is to NOT PASS these types of file names to QE and use project folders and file names that don't have the problem. Any file you build with MASM will run with long file names with spaces so it a development folder location choice, not a problem that cannot be solved.

next time I get the time to visit the guts of QE I will have a look at it but that may be a while.

I'm glad you already knew ;)

i don't really care since i am mostly assembling in c:\masm32\programs\<program name>  and most of the time the default assemble / link options aren't sufficient anymore so most of the time i'm using a batch file or just the command line..

I just thought i would point it out since it is the only "disadvantage" i have encountered so far while using masm32 (and that does mean alot  :green2).
