matopen in fortran

I am reading mat files in fortran which works fine as long as there are no blank spaces in the path or file name. For example:

pmat = matOpen(TRIM(dir)//file,"r")

pmat will be 0 if the dir or file strings have while spaces in them.

Is there a way to read and write files and/or paths with blank spaces???

thanks

Ah, I knew this problem sounded familiar, but I didn't think my memory extended back that far...
