include a .tex file with spaces in the filename

Question

I am including chapters in my latex file one by one by using the \include{} statement, up till now I've had no problem with that. But I've recently written a chapter which I've saved under a name including spaces...because you can.

Now the include{} statement apparently doesn't like spaces, and prints just the filename in my document in stead of the chapter.

It is probably a pretty easy fix (apart from removing the spaces in the filename, ;-) ), but I can't find it.

UPDATE

It doesn't bode well for this question according to this wiki. It says that you can't unless you use a recent distribution like teTeX 3 or MikTeX 2.4.

However one smidge of hope left, the page is dated 2005 (a lot can happen in 5 years) and I am using pdflatex included in ubuntu which I assume is a fairly recent distribution.

Answer 1

Try

\include{"file\space name"}

(I.e., use quotes and \space.) You may need to remove old .aux files and/or run Latex twice.

Answer 2

Well I'm closing this question by giving the (quite unsatisfying) answer, I've found (on this wiki).

At the moment the answer unfortunately is: you can't, unless you use a recent version which happens to handle this problem more gracefully. Examples: teTeX 3 and MikTeX 2.4.

It seems that unusual filenames are still a problem within latex, so your best bet is to abstain or, if you have to, find a version that has solved the problem.
