Regarding spaces in Mac file and directory names: I know this is an old topic, but is there a generally accepted method, or a library function in someone's IDL library, to take a file name as input and output ac copy with the spaces escaped properly with backslashes?

In other words, take
/this/directory/has spaces/youknow.txt
and output
/this/directory/has\ spaces/youknow.txt

I need this for a spawn command to work on arbitrary files. Thanks!
