folder path bug

[Tareku99]

i put the folder on my desktop and run the line in windows.
I got an error saying "path not excepted at this time". I decided to move the folder with the .bat to a root directory and it worked fine. I encounter this issue a lot, my username has a space in between; example "steve bob". I assume the .bat file does not account for random spaces like that in a path when executing.

This observation is correct, @Tareku99.

I’m going to try to add support for spaces in paths in d2t.bat and in calabash/calabash.bat.

(This issue is a duplicate of #66, and it is related to #18 that is about d2t)

Please check out the latest version (using git pull --recurse-submodules) and see whether space handling has improved (here’s hoping that it has).

I pulled using your command and run a test random file in a random path that has a space. It is not working from what I can see.
LOG:
'"C:/ds ds/docx2tex//calabash/calabash.bat"' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I clone again using the -recursive flag (which I did not use before) and it works fine. Was it my error from the start ?

I don’t know. Git and Windows batch files are mysteries to me, too.

Maybe this finding is relevant here: https://github.com/transpect/docx2tex/blob/master/d2t.bat#L8

It seems that if you invoke batch files using forward slashes, and if the directory that the batch file is in contains spaces, the command is not recognized. Then you need to prepend cmd /c to the batch file name.
