VPatchFile with space in path to file: failed
Hi there,

In order to update some files, I use VPatch to do this.

Unfortunately, the defined path for the original file to be replaced contains a space into it.
I did use "$0\Sources\XYZ\Source files\XYZ___X.C", but it fails in "making" the EXE from the nsi script.

within my script, it fails on this line:

  !insertmacro VPatchFile "PatchBX1.pat" "$0\Sources\XYZ\Source files\XYZ___X.C" "XYZ___X_NEW.C" 

Thanks for your help.

Try different quotes. ` or '.

none of the quotes worked, unfortunately.

I also tried to "trick" the script in using a define like ths:

!define SRC "Source files"

!insertmacro VPatchFile "PatchBX1.pat" "$0\Sources\XYZ\${SRC}\XYZ___X.C" "XYZ___X_NEW.C"

but didn't work either :weird:

it seems the VPatch macro does NOT support space in its parameters... Maybe someone has another idea...

Thanks in advance

Also, why don't you use the vpatch plugin directly if the macro is still broken?
