Using space and ( in strings

Hi. Im currently creating my first QV app and so far so good. However im now stuck at a very simple but anoying problem.

The apps is currently loading data from CSV files and it all worked fine in my own computer. But when i moved it to our server, it didnt work. Ive narrowed the problem down to the path of the CSV, witch I add do a varible using:
SET path_errorlogs='C:\Program Files (x86)\App\CSV\errorlogs\';  //varible for dir with errorlogs

The varible doesnt get the entire name, only the: "C:\Program Files" path. If i use other paths with space in it, it works. However when i use a path with a space and then (, i get this error. Seems to be aproblem when yo use: " ("

Any idees on how so sort it?

Can't reproduce your issue here. I do get the complete string set into the variable.

On which version of QV are you?

11.0 SR1 on the server machine (desktop is installed on the server).

Got 11.20 SR2 on my own machine

As a workaround, maybe you can try building your string in parts:

LET path_errorlogs='C:\Program Files ' & ' (x86)\App\CSV\errorlogs\';

or

LET path_errorlogs='C:\Program Files ' & ' (' & 'x86)\App\CSV\errorlogs\';
