    Exclamation spaces in filenames!

    ok so you can use the CommonDialog to allow the user to select multiple files, and it then seperates each file path with a space in the FileName property.

    but what if some of the filenames themselves have spaces in them!!! it makes it a bit difficult to use the Split function easily then!, any suggestions?

    VB Code:
    1. Private Sub Form_Load()

    2.     CommonDialog1.Flags = &H200 Or &H80000

    3.     CommonDialog1.ShowOpen

    4.     MsgBox Join(Split(CommonDialog1.FileName, Chr(0)), vbCrLf)

    5. End Sub
