Believe it or not, the syntax problem you are stating, common on all
platforms that support LONG FILE NAMES. The issue is to either parse the
individual arguments, or treat the input as 1 item. Long file names allows
for the use of spaces in the names. As a result, the program reading the
file name needs to be aware that the entire input is 1 entry or a bunch of
little entries.
Our convention has been to replace all spaces in file names with underscore characters '_'. That way the file name is only 1 item and not a bunch of pieces.

This is notan Oracle based problew but I'd appreciate input please on:
For running scripts in SQL*Plus on NT I've noticed that if filename
containing script
has spaces e.g. g:\Show me value.sql, to execute this script in SQL*Plus I
need to specify @"g:\show me value". What other forms of syntax, if
any, can I use to realise same functionality?
Sean :)
