How to include spaces in file names in GForth (GNU Forth)?

When I tried including a file on Unix (and Windows) it won't work when it includes spaces. For example, these won't work:

include ~/Space Folder/test.fs
include ~/Space\ Folder/test.fs
include "~/Space Folder/test.fs"
include "~/Space\ Folder/test.fs"
include C:\Users\Lim Ding Wen\test.fs
include C:\Users\Lim/ Ding/ Wen\test.fs
include "C:\Users\Lim Ding Wen\test.fs"

So.. is there a way to make this work? Thanks!

Solution

  • Use the included word :

    s" My File With Spaces.fs" included

    Tilde expansion will probably not work (haven't tested). If you do not specify an absolute path, then the file needs to be in the GFORTHPATH
