I want (in Gambas3) to delete a file in e.g. /usr/share/applications.
sInstallPath may have spaces in its filename: that's why I used a single
quote round it.
I've tried
Exec ["gksudo", "rm", "'" & sInstallPath & "'"]
which doesn't give an error but doesn't delete the file.
I've tried
Exec ["gksudo rm", "'" & sInstallPath & "'"]
which gives an error saying that the child program/process is not found
and doesn't delete the file.
How do I code this (without using Shell) so that there are no errors and
the file is deleted?
