Bash question about File Manager creating ( untitled \folder )
 
I have been having troulbles opening a folder so a LQ forum suggested that I use auto completion and it turns out that (untitled forlder) is actually (untitled \folder) so my question is what is with the forward slash? Does it have something to do with the space?


Thanks in advance!


I'm in the four hundred club. Ya hoo!

It's actually not:

Code:
untitled \folder
but

Code:
untitled\ folder

Yes, the backslash escapes the whitespace between the two words.

Alternatively you could have done:
cd "untitled folder"
