"cd" to a folder with spaces in it's name?
 

Hello,
I'm running redhat 9 and was wondering how do I cd to a folder if the folders name has spaces in it?

Say I've got a folder called "My Documents" how would I from the command line get to this folder?

If I type "cd My Documents" it tells me there is no such directory as "My"????

Sorry if this is a silly question but am I missing something here?

Cheers,
Chris.

Use double quotes around the directory:

cd "My Documents"

or escape the space:

cd My\ Documents

Hope this clears things up a bit

Thanks for the speedy response, it works!!!

also try pressing tab...it completes da foldername itself !!
