I got an error when I compile if the .o2bas filename include some space in it.
Either from Oxide or a batch file.
Adding double-quotes does'nt help...
Example: D:\Dev\Oxygen\o2w7\co2.exe -32 "D:\Dev\Oxygen\o2w7\~code\Caption Icon04.o2bas"
I got the error: ERROR: Include file not found d:\dev\oxygen\o2w7\~code\caption.inc
A legal filename can begin with, let's say "-A"
Like in D:\Dev\Oxygen\o2w7\co2.exe -32 -aCaption.o2bas
In that case the "-a" is misinterpreted as a compiler swicth.
Adding double-quotes resolve the situation.
Is there a place where I can find the exacts rules for feeding a command line to the compiler?
Added:
The co2.exe messagebox help show the switches always before the <filename>
Aka: co2.exe -64 <filename> <optional filename>
Is there any problem putting thoses swicthes after filenames, [optional filename], [filename.res]
Seems OK to me...
Thank.
Hello Pierre,
I have altered co2, oxide and peroxide to support file pathnames containing spaces. When compiling with co2 in a dos console, you now need to enclose the spacey filenames with double-quotes.
Update P10

you always need to have filename with "" if you use spaces in names
simple:
chr(34) + file_name + chr(34)
Hi Charles,
Double-quotes for filenames with space is a good news.
I guess Microsoft sees it that way too.
Note that <co2.exe -32 -aCaption.o2bas> do not contain any space and will continue to be ambigious,
It might a rare case, still is <-a> a switch, or part of the filename?
I will always use double-quotes in my pre-compiler to avoid any misinterpretation.
By curiosity, I wanted to know if I can put the switches after filenames.
With no confirmation, I will play safe to avoid possible future problems.
Thank you very much Charles.
Yes, you will need to space the switches, and if a filename looks like a switch then put it between quotes. It is always safe to use quotes around filenames.
I think we need to keep the switches to the left of the filenames, but I will consider this issue.
QuoteI think we need to keep the switches to the left of the filenames,
Of course that wee need to keep them from leftI really don't know any other compiler which use switch from right side or after filename.
Charles....
New request become really bizare
It is because there are optional filenames to the right: exe filenames and res filenames.

Yes ,,of course on right side are
