Hi Tomas, Thanks for the info about the binary builds; I did install it, however the bug still seems to be there in the current build. The workaround you suggested does work:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\R\R-devel\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-devel\bin\x64\Rscript.exe" --vanilla "C:\foo bar.R" What do you get when you multiply 6 * 9?

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.
