quoting filenames in windows (ami-search-new)

[petermr]

commands which include full filenames cause parsing problems. e.g.

ami-search-new -p myproject --dictionary D:\TIGRESS workshop\dictionaries\drought.xml`

At least the following problems:

• space in name
• backslashes
• colon ?D:
  how do we quote this in the Windows shell?

sir keep the name of sub-folder as a single word. Else the path will get broken.

e.g -  D:\TIGRESSworkshop\dictionaries\drought.xml

or

D:\TIGRESS_workshop\dictionaries\drought.xml

Yes. I think we should develop a special directory for dictionaries - this was the plan.

Here's a StackOverflow that suggests you can escape spaces with a caret: https://superuser.com/questions/279008/how-do-i-escape-spaces-in-command-line-in-windows-without-using-quotation-marks/279121 But it's a mess which is why `ami-makeproject` flattens all filenames to lowercase and all punctuation to `_`.
