Helpful Reading Material
Another level with a similar premise to the last one but just as the file name says, I’m need to open a file with spaces in it’s name.
bandit1@bandit:~$ ls
spaces in this filename
I’ll try what I did last time but I know it won’t work.
bandit1@bandit:~$ cat spaces in this filename
cat: spaces: No such file or directory
cat: in: No such file or directory
cat: this: No such file or directory
cat: filename: No such file or directory
Yeah that’s what I thought. After skimming through the recommended reading, I learned you can use quotes around names like this.
bandit1@bandit:~$ cat "spaces in this filename"
