Emacsclient/server filename quoting error


From: Francis Wright
Subject: Emacsclient/server filename quoting error
Date: Sun, 10 Dec 2006 12:00:47 -0000

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I execute all the following commands from a cmd command prompt (outside of Emacs).

emacsclient -n -a runemacs "TO DO.txt"

works correctly if Emacs IS already running, but if it is not already
running then Emacs does not see the filename correctly; the quotes do
not appear to be passed on to runemacs.

emacsclient -n -a runemacs "\"TO DO.txt\""

works correctly if Emacs is NOT already running, but if it is already
running then Emacs does not see the filename correctly; it opens a
buffer on the non-existent file "TO DO.txt", including the quotes in
the filename.

runemacs "TO DO.txt"

works correctly, so it appears to be emacsclient that is swallowing
the quotes when it has to invoke runemacs.

In GNU Emacs 22.0.91.1 (i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
