If the path of a file has space in between the uri cannot fetch the file in the path.

Question

The message box crops up could not find part of the path of the file"file path" when i try to open a file that has space in its file path. I have used LocalPath instead of AbsolutePath and it works fine for me, but its only limited to WinApps, i needed a more generic solution. Some thing like Uri unescaped data path. I am not sure about the syntax.

Answer 1

If the file can be fetched depends on your implementation of the software. Try to replace the spaces with %20

What kind of development are we talking about here? JAVA GUI or WebApps? C/C++?

Answer 2

You should try enclosing your URI with quotes

new Uri("\"C:\some path\some file\"");

Answer 3

In Java: URI uri = new File("spaces in file name").toURI();
