[Rails] Re: Opening a file having white spaces on is name with the default program

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

I have made a put of the command

f1 = "d:/sat - Copy.png"
f1 = f1.gsub(" ", "\ ")
cmd = 'cmd /c "start ' + f1 + '"'
puts "CMD: " + cmd
system (cmd)

....and the result is the following one:

cmd /c "start d:/sat - Copy.png"

In attachment, I've putted a picture with the error.

Thanks

Regards
