List + lformat + names with spaces

[Yulquen74]

Considering this small script which is meant to find all .info files in directories and subdirectories, and add a dummy file for the ones thats alone (like in many icon packs, and copyicon tools wont work with those icons):


echo "Adding dummy files for .info files lacking companion..."
list all files sub=.info quick nohead lformat="if not exists %p%m*necho >%p%m*nendif" >t:list
execute t:list
echo "Done!"



This sort of works, but only if the names do not contain spaces.
Doublequoting the %p%m entries inside the lformat expression does not work, so is there a working solution to this? Usage is in OS3.2 environment.

You can escape the double quotes with * signs:

lformat="if not exists *"%p%m*"*necho >*"%p%m*"*nendif"

Nohead and quick are not needed, they are automatically assumend when lformat is used.

That works nicely, thanks!
