Try this:

FileName=Dialog_pickfile(/read)

; Pipeline the output of the dir command to a file

DOSCommand='dir "'+FileName+'"' ; Add quotes around the file name
Spawn, DosCommand, Result ; You don't have to send the results to a
file. They get sent back in 'Result'

; Pull out the dat and time fields

Pieces=STRTRIM(STR_Sep(Result, ' '),2)
Pieces=Pieces(Where(Pieces NE ''))

...

At this point, you'll have to mess with which pieces to parse, as I don't have
a Windows machine to figure them out on. The basic idea is to use the double
quotes as part of the command, and to return the result directly from the
spawn command. Hope this helps.
