my problem is how to correctly send following messages to the [shell]?

interactive additive synth/sonic prism.scd

interactive additive synth/sonic_prism.scd

interactive_additive_synth/sonic prism.scd

I must send a message with [sprintf], but the a space in truncate a complete path and file name.

I have also tried [regexp] with substitue. However, if a strng has no space, [regexp] does not produce the original string but nothing!

The problem is, there can be a space and also can be no space!

In [shell] does not work a space.

I tried alone some days.
I have not found a solution.

In this regard, the tosymbol object is useful.

Alternately, he could add a backslash before the spaces, although enclosing the thing in double quotes would be easier in a situation where he always dealt with the same kind of data....

Can you give a patch instead of a recommendation?

The two methods, I had tried.
