Delete command line breaks?

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X

I’m trying to delete these two folders: #SharedObjects - macromedia.com
but the command line breaks because of the space in the ‘Flash Player’ folder.

do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com"
do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects"

Thanks for any help,

Try something like this:

do shell script "rm -rf " & ¬
	quoted form of "~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com" & " " & ¬
	quoted form of "~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects"

Thanks Bruce, but it still doesn’t delete those two folders.

I found the solution.

do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\\ Player/macromedia.com"
do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\\ Player/#SharedObjects"

Oh, of course. The tilde isn’t expanded when it’s inside single quotes.
