Do Shell Script to unzip on M1 Mac with spaces in path name

[Mike Matthews - Omnis]

Bingo!  Thank you Kelly, I thought I had tried that as well, but clearly not.  Maybe did both, who knows when you have spent hours doing all sorts of options.

So stick the path inside single quotes is the answer.

Hi Mike,

I have tried escaping the spaces with %20, single \ and double \\, all to no joy.

Try this - enclose the path in single quotes using un-escaped spaces...

Begin text block
Text: {cd '/Users/mike/Library/Application Support/SQLWorks/SQLWorks v10221-31840 Dev/Lineal SQLWorks Startup/Lineal SQLWorks Folder'}
Text: {; unzip -o https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fstudioworks.zip&c=E,1,NS-RmaCiKLv2dzZsjiwL-s93UVfkcMzM5trfovpECJWznlPipHYBhPHoCrO3CeYbgB-9vpL70hBQv6e-R21_mAeap3ApehZOdeIoMoJ-cQ,,&typo=1}
End text block
Get text block cmdLine

Begin text block
Text: {do shell script "[cmdLine]"}
End text block
Get text block script

Do $root.$runapplescript(script,result,error)
If error<>''
 # handle error...
End if
