Question

This is where the file exists:

~/Library/Application Support/Something/something.sqldb

This is my command to access the file:

connect('~/Library/Application\ Support/Something/something.sqldb')

The command does not work because the file, something.sqldb, can not be found. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Thanks for the help!

If you use single quotes, you will not escape the space if you use backslash. Use double quotes

connect("~/Library/Application\ Support/Something/something.sqldb")

If you use Python, you can use expanduser before putting the string into your connect statement

connect ( os.path.expanduser("~/........") )
