Subject: [Rd] Bug in RScript.exe for 3.5.0
Message-ID: <DB6PR01MB3926EA58DA3B90E5AA27483FEB8F0@DB6PR01MB3926.eurprd01.prod.exchangelabs.com>

Hi R Developers,
I have found what I think is a bug in the RScript.exe in version 3.5.0 of R for Windows.
When I call Rscript.exe for Version 3.5 of R, it is unable to open the file if the file name or path has a space in it.
As an example of what happens, I saved 2 files with the code:
cat("What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?")
as C:\foo bar.R and as C:\foo_bar.R
When I in a DOS command window try to run these using version 3.4.3 and 3.5:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo bar.R"
What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo_bar.R"
What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.0\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo bar.R"
Fatal error: cannot open file 'C:\foo': No such file or directory


C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.0\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo_bar.R"
What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?
C:\>
When I try to run the file with a space in the name in version 3.5.0 of R, there is a fatal error saying there is no such file.
