Doesn't windows do something special for files with spaces in them? Hm,
$ type "hi mom" > "test 1"
$ dir test<F8>
$ dir "test 1"
but, you're right, I couldn't find a combination of dbl, single, q, qq,
qqx, qx that'd let me run
dir "test 1"
via qqx or qx - windows is funny that way, I guess.
Hi Andy,
Thank you for the confirmation! For once, it wasn't me.
I wonder if this is a bug in Raku?
I will try the Shell command. No need for
quotes in that.
