Probably not a slack specific question, but that's what I'm running...
Installed Quake3 using wine (runs fantastic BTW), and I would like to do a menu shortcut, but since wine uses the fake directory "Program Files", linux can't find the directory because of the space character between "program" and "Files". Is there a special character/key combo that will tell linux to recognize this space as a valid character? Right now I have to navigate to the file with midnight commander to run it. Although a simple solution would be to move the Quake files into their own directory with a linux recognizable path, I would like to leave them where they are if possible.

Try the backslash character "\". At least at the bash console prompt it shuold escape whatever the next character is as a literal character. I have also had to at certain times enclose a string in double quotes. If you need a space for another type of input then try using the string "%20" without any spaces. The later is used in things like HTML code.

I would think one of the above should work for you.

Cheers!

Cool! Backslash did the trick for path recognition.

Thanks much!

Just a final note: To get this program operating properly it required execution from it's home directory (so it could see a .cfg file). Since I was creating a menu entry it required inserting two commands to bash on a single line, a "cd" command and then the wine execution command. On a guess I typed both commands on the same line, separated by a semicolon ";" which did the trick nicely.
