Can anyone tell me if it is possible to specify a pathname using NT to a file with SQL*Plus spool command if the pathname contains a space. For example if I want to spool output of a SQL*Plus session to t:\oracle\output\system check\free_space.log can this be done. I've tried enclosing the pathname in " " and ' ' but that don't do it, it gives same error message as for no "" or '':

SP2-0333: Illegal spool file name: "t:\oracle\scripts\system checks\free_space.log" (bad character: ' ')

I'm hoping that I won't be stuck with having directory names with no spaces, arrrggghhhhhh.....
(and puhhleezze no comments about on Unix yada, yada, yada)
