Re: TIP: using spaces in filenames

Knowing your quotes also helps. I often use quotes in my command lines. Double quotes are used when you want the ability for environment variable substitution, single quotes are when you want to retain everything as is.
FreeBSD's tcsh shell also allows for TAB name completion (although I find bash's name completion easier to use), so typing out long names won't be painstaking as it once was long ago. |
