How to write file path with spaces in system function in C?

Question

C++ / C#

#include
void main(){
system("gcc C:/Folder/My Folder/example.c" );
}
So - does not work.
If you remove the space from the folder name (MyFolder) - it works.
How can this be fixed?

Answer 1

Escape quotes. The backslash is also escaped in the same way, if it is suddenly required.
Character escaping is a mechanism found in text-based languages ​​and protocols. It serves to deprive symbols that are considered official and have a special meaning and declare them “just symbols”. We need double escaping: for the OS (a string with spaces is quoted) and for C (a slash before the quote).

Answer 2

system("gcc \"C:/Folder/My Folder/example.c\"" );
