How can I cd into a dir, when it contains spaces, and I need to use it in a script? the directory: /home/user/this is a folder/something normally I would use: cd /home/user/this\ is\ a\ folder/something/ but in a script I cant just add the "\" like: find . -type d | while read FOLDER; do cd $FOLDER; done $ No such file or directory the problem is, that there would be more "special chars" then spaces, "sed" them all? :D
Try enclosing the name in quotes: ... cd "$FOLDER" ; done -- Eduardo M KALINOWSKI eduardo@kalinowski.com.br
