Visidata: Trouble opening files (via command-line only) with spaces in the filename

[jsvine]

Small description

On my computer (Mac OS) the edge version of VisiData (5b057274, but also previous develop versions) seems to bug out when I point vd (on the command line) at a file whose name contains a space character. It seems to think I am pointing it to two (or more, depending on the number of spaces) files, typically neither of which exist.

Opening the same filename via o works fine, however.

Expected result

vd should be able to open files with spaces in their names :)

Actual result with screenshot

See below.

Steps to reproduce with sample data and a .vd

echo "z" > "My Test.csv"
vd "My Test.csv"

Result: My does not exist, creating new sheet | Test.csv does not exist, creating new sheet.

Additional context

Mac OS, VisiData 5b057274

@jsvine Oh dear, I cannot reproduce on Linux...

I also tried with the specific example you gave, and was unable to reproduce this. I wonder if this is a terminal or shell issue... Does it work with 1.5.2 with the same terminal?

I'm on Mac and I've not come across this issue... What terminal are you using and what shell? (I use gnu bash and iTerm)

Doh! Was totally my own fault, in how I wired up Bash to use the develop branch. 🤦 for not having double-checked that first. Thank you for the sanity checks 🙏 , and apologies for the distraction!
