Could you try with vscode "%cd%" ?

looking further, I don't see any solution with that because of DOS. and PowerShell is not an option authorized per default on Windows.

@stonebig, I don't understand why you closed it!?

I just found out that the problem is not only with folder names, but also exist for file names too.

I have my usual VSCode installation in the path as code.exe, and the one came with WinPython renamed as vscode.exe.

trying to open a file ,code "try&see.py" opens the file with correct name but vscode "try&see.py" crops the name to "try" and ignores the rest of it. "

I tried on "cmd", "powershell" and even on "bash" from git installation. all the same: names after "&" are cropped.

hum,

Can you try to modify \WPy64-3830\scripts\Noshell.vbs like this:

'from http://superuser.com/questions/140047/how-to-run-a-batch-file-without-launching-a-command-window/390129
If WScript.Arguments.Count >= 1 Then
    ReDim arr(WScript.Arguments.Count-1)
    For i = 0 To WScript.Arguments.Count-1
        Arg = WScript.Arguments(i)
        If InStr(Arg, " ") > 0 or InStr(Arg, "&") > 0 Then Arg = chr(34) & Arg & chr(34)
      arr(i) = Arg
    Next

    RunCmd = Join(arr)
    CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run RunCmd, 0 , True
End If

that is a oneline change:

        If InStr(Arg, " ") > 0 or InStr(Arg, "&") > 0 Then Arg = chr(34) & Arg & chr(34)

instead of

        If InStr(Arg, " ") > 0   Then Arg = chr(34) & Arg & chr(34)

nope, still the same @stonebig

it works on mine:

WPy64-3860>"vs code.exe" "see&pray.py"

I called the icon, maybe you called something else ?

my bad, I keep an older v3760 and I changed this file in its folder 👍

used the edit on v3830 and it is working.

aaaaah. will patch next release accordingly.

any luck you have time for #898, might be solved in a similar scripting manner I hope.

and thanks for the help.
