Please forgive me, this may have been asked a hundred times,
but I didn't find an answer in the archives.
How do you write a space in a path of a " do shell script" statement?
For example: do shell script "ls -l /Applications/BBEdit\ Lite"
This gives an error. Seems, that a backslash is not allowed in a path,
although this is the way the path is written in a shell.
do shell script "ls -l /Applications/BBEdit Lite" gives an error too,
so how do I have to treat spaces with do shell script?
Any help appreciated.
