Problem in getting file name with spacing.

nix does support spaces, and you either need to escape them (\) or use quotes.

In reality, no.

I can't confirm it, but I believe *nix filesystems do not support filenames with spaces in.

The invent of a filename wiht spaces in was pathetic. It was originaly designed as a single block field, and as such, a lot of software only supports it this way.

For many many years, people used a underscore (_) as a replacment for the space (in line with teh single block field theory), and I sugestg you do the same.

Boyond this, a lot of clients still don't support filesnames with spaces correctly. mIRC will currently only handle 1 correctly.

Hi guys,

This is a simple question concerning filesys.

Everytime I try to get a file with space in its file name e.g. "my photo.jpg", the bot will reply that it can't locate the file. This problem does not exist when I get a file without space in the name e.g. "myphoto.jpg".

Is there anyway to get file with spacing in the file name?
