Thanks Tomas.
I confirm the quick workaround works for me in the DOS prompt, and when having
a shortcut to RScript in SendTo, and when used in the Task Scheduler. I have
not tested the R-devel version, due to my unfamiliarity with installing from
source code.
Thanks, Kerry.
There are binary builds for daily snapshots of R-devel
(development/unstable version of R) at
https://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rdevel.html
At this time the build should already have the fix.

Fixed in R-devel. I will port to R-patched after more testing.

Thanks for the report. A quick workaround before this gets fixed is to
add an extra first argument that has no space in it, e.g.
Rscript --vanilla "foo bar.R"
The problem exists on all systems, not just Windows.

Hi R Developers,
I have found what I think is a bug in the RScript.exe in version
3.5.0 of R for Windows.
When I call Rscript.exe for Version 3.5 of R, it is unable to open
the file if the file name or path has a space in it.
As an example of what happens, I saved 2 files with the code:
cat("What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?") as C:\foo bar.R and
as C:\foo_bar.R When I in a DOS command window try to run these using
version 3.4.3 and 3.5:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo bar.R"
What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.4.3\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo_bar.R"
What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.0\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo bar.R"
Fatal error: cannot open file 'C:\foo': No such file or directory
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-3.5.0\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" "C:\foo_bar.R"
What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?
C:\>
When I try to run the file with a space in the name in version 3.5.0
of R, there is a fatal error saying there is no such file.
