Pathnames
 
What do you type for file and directory names that have spaces in between them? such as 'Johns Music'

realjustin 09-14-2004 09:50 PM

You must use the escape character \ before the space. For instance, you could do
cd Johns\ Music

foo_bar_foo 09-14-2004 09:55 PM

that \ works and also single or double qoutes around it will do it
