Change directory command
 

Ok this should be an easy one but I can't figure it out. I have a directory called My Music (note the space). When I do a cd My Music, it says not found. How do I do a cd with a folder that has a space in the middle?

Thanks

Use a \:

cd My\ Music

or cd my then hit tab would either auto complete if there's only one starting like that, or a few tabs shows the different directories, which would have shown you My\ Music

Or just put the directory in quotes.

Both single and double quotes can be used ... slightly different but nearly the same ... and the backslash "\" character is always recognized as an escape-character, nullifying any special meaning of the character (including a space) that immediately follows it.

Incidentally, the same tricks are used on the command-line in Windows.

info bash is a very handy thing to read... lots of cool time-saving tricks in there.
