Allright, thanks - this a bug in the GHCi UI frontend. When
given a filename via a :load command or the cmd-line it
processes the filename(s) using Prelude.words, which isn't
the right thing to do.

Hi
Thanks for the answer. It appears as if XP calls ghci via
"p::\ath\to\ghci" "c:\Documents and Settings\foo\...."
i.e. with quotes.=20
Trying to start ghci via cygwin using any of=20
$ ghci Test\ with\ spaces/Test.lhs=20
$ ghci Test\ with\ spaces\\Test.lhs=20
$ ghci "Test with space/Test.lhs"
$ ghci "Test with space\\Test.lhs"
will give the error: can't find module `Test' (while processing =
"Test")
Testing=20
$ ghci Test\ with\ spaces/Test.lhs=20
$ ghci "Test with space/Test.lhs"
under Linux gives the same error.=20
Hence there seem to be something strange about pathnames containing =
spaces under GHCi.
However trying the same thing under GHC works like a charm under both =
cygwin and Linux.
Any ideas?

Hi thee,
this is most likely due to the XP shell invoking 'ghci' as follows:
p:\ath\to\ghci c:\Documents and Settings\foo\....
which makes it look as if multiple arguments are given on the
command-line (indeed, that's what the argv vector will contain.)
The registered file assocations for .hs and .lhs takes care of =
quoting
the filename argument, so I'm not sure this is worth fixing.
--sigbjorn
Enterprising souls may want to have a look at the Registry key
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Unknown\shell\openas\command
and look at how the %1 arg is quoted (or not)....

Hello.
I am having a problem using the Open with ... on haskell-files =
under WinXP. The problem is this: create a file on my desktop and then =
right-click and try to open it using Open with -> ghci. I get the =
following error message:
can't find module `C:\Documents' (while processing =
"C:\\Documents")
Obviously GHCi incorrectly handles white space in the path. If I =
run under Cygwin I can use a script like:
c:\\ghc\\ghc-5.04.2\\bin\\ghci `cygpath -d $1`;
But how do I solve this if I'm not using cygwin?=20
Thanks, Calle
