Actually, that's not true; you need to quote the arguments before
writing to the wctl file. Probably you want to do something like:
echo new -cd `{pwd} `{quote $*} >> `{getwctl}
Where quote is a program I wrote that uses the %q format verb to quote
each argument. Like so:
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
#include <bio.h>
static void
usage(void)
{
fprint(2, "usage: %s [args...]\n", argv0);
exits("usage");
}
void
main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int i;
Biobuf *stdin, *stdout;
char *line;
ARGBEGIN{
default:
usage();
}ARGEND;
quotefmtinstall();
stdout = Bfdopen(1, OWRITE);
if(argc == 0){
stdin = Bfdopen(0, OREAD);
while(line = Brdstr(stdin, '\n', 1)){
Bprint(stdout, "%q\n", line);
free(line);
}
}else{
for(i = 0; i < argc; i++){
if(i > 0)
Bputc(stdout, ' ');
Bprint(stdout, "%q", argv[i]);
}
Bputc(stdout, '\n');
}
}
You're still going to have problems if the current working directory
ever contains spaces though!
