Err ... are you completely unaware of how the unix commandline works?
What do you think separates commandline arguments?
Is this still the thread on which:
$ rm windows 7
failed, because the paths "windows" and "7" were not present? (I've been on several other lists since my last post, so it's possible that my recollection is faulty.)
Of course it did, and the solutions already posted included: rm "windows 7" rm windows\ 7 Perfectly valid ways to deal with the POSIX-OK space in the filename. I'm suggesting that this is fine. As compared to the other suggestions that the file should never have been named that, and should have been windows_7 instead. / Brett
