Spaces are easily dealt with by escaping them with a backslash, or even just quoting the entire filename. We can actually use autocomplete with TAB to do it for us if we really want. First, let’s see what files we have.
|
1 2 |
[email protected]:~$ ls spaces in this filename |
Let’s look inside.
|
1 2 |
[email protected]:~$ cat spaces\ in\ this\ filename UmHadQclWmgdLOKQ3YNgjWxGoRMb5luK |
We could also do this.
|
1 2 |
[email protected]:~$ cat 'spaces in this filename' UmHadQclWmgdLOKQ3YNgjWxGoRMb5luK |
Boy howdy.
