It is a BUG in R version 3.5.0 for Windows.
One workaround, apart from downgrading, is creating an R script with no spaces in its path and run the spaced one with source():

## C:\Documents\Folder-name-no-space\myscript.txt
source("C:/Documents/Folder name containing space/myscript.txt")

Then you run it with:

Rscript C:\Documents\Folder-name-no-space\myscript.txt

or also:

Rscript C:/Documents/Folder-name-no-space/myscript.txt

You may also try the 8.3 filename. You can get it with:

for %I in ("C:/Documents/Folder name containing space/myscript.txt") do @echo %~sI

UPDATE

Since 3.5.1 the problem has been fixed.
