using fn_trace_gettable on trace files where the path contains aspace.

[nadabadan]

Hi,
Is there a way to read a trace file with fn_trace_gettable if
that trace file resides in a path that contains a space? For example,
test.trc is accessible with fn_trace_gettable if it resides in c:
\traces\, but throws an error if the trace file is in c:\my traces\.
Thanks.

I tested this on SQL 2005 and Vista x64:

select * from fn_trace_gettable('C:\Temp\program files\flexkid''s\doublefeature.trc', default)

and it ran without a problem.
