For example, I do have a file with a name like this: al5. (r) 2010 same as al5.[space][space](r)[space]2010
Now, I'm tryin to change the name of file with mv command to acelemon:
mv -T al5.\ \(r\)\ 2010 acelemon
linux is tryin to see the new filename as an operand.
What kind of character should I use to make the change of filename working?

Spaces and paranthesis in a file name
Re: Spaces and paranthesis in a file name
Don't work.
Bash says:
...can not be read: There is no file or directory

Re: Spaces and paranthesis in a file name
Ok, now I found out that after the name there were two spaces more. Problem solved!
Re: Spaces and paranthesis in a file name
another idea (what i do more and more often):
Code: Select all
mv al<Tab><Tab> (completes to properly escaped filename) acelemon

And for us lazy ones, there is mc, which among other things, can open and rename files, which include spaces or specaial characters.
