SET PATH TO Syntax for Folder Names with Spaces (113176)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Macintosh 3.0b
- Microsoft FoxPro for Macintosh 2.5b
This article was previously published under Q113176 SUMMARY
The Macintosh operating system allows the use of spaces and other special
characters within folder and file names. The SET PATH command, which
specifies a path for file searches, requires special syntax if folder names
containing spaces are used.
If a folder in the path contains a space character in the name, the entire
path name must be enclosed in quotation marks. Within the quotation marks,
each separate folder to search should be separated by semicolons or commas
as shown in the following example:
SET PATH TO "Mac HD:FoxPro 2.5B; tutorial; goodies"
