EXPAND Command Does Not Recognize Path with Spaces (155564)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
- Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0
This article was previously published under Q155564 SYMPTOMS
The EXPAND command does not work if the file you want to expand has spaces
in its name. For example, the following command does not work:
expand /l c:\temp stuff <source>
This command generates the following error message:
Can't open input file: temp
RESOLUTION
Enclose the entire path in quotation marks. For example, using the same
command as above, you would type:
expand /l "c:\temp stuff" <source>
