Move files with doubelspace in filename using CLIENT_HOST in Forms10g

Question

Hi,
We have following code witten to move files in Forms 10g ( 10.1.2.0.2 ) -
CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c move '||'"'||Source||'"'||' '||Dest);
The above code works fine for files with single space in filename. For Example - "a b.txt"
However fails for files having doublespace in filename. For example, "a b.txt"
Any workaround for this.
Thanks.

how about creating a test button with following trigger
DECLARE
   l_source      varchar2(100)         ;
   l_destination varchar2(100)         ;
   l_blank         varchar2(1)  := ' ' ;
   l_enclosure   varchar2(1) := '"'    ; 
   l_cmd          varchar2(300)        ;   
BEGIN
   l_source      := 'C:\tmp\a    aa.txt'   ;
   l_destination := 'C:\tmp\bbb   bbb.txt' ;
   l_cmd         := 'cmd /c move'
                || l_blank || l_enclosure ||  l_source      || l_enclosure
                || l_blank || l_enclosure ||  l_destination || l_enclosure
   message (l_cmd) ;
   message ('  ');
   CLIENT_HOST (l_cmd) ; PS : untested, no access to Oracle right now
