bash: Apostrophe in path -
on mac os x (bash 4.2), try cd folder apostrophe in path:
cd "~/documents/study/new/beej's guide unix ipc_code/examples"
then got
-bash: cd: ~/documents/study/new/beej's guide unix ipc_code/examples: no such file or directory
i tried escaping apostrophe this:
cd "~/documents/study/new/beej\'s guide unix ipc_code/examples"
with result:
-bash: cd: ~/documents/study/new/beej\'s guide unix ipc_code/examples: no such file or directory
the thing worked me hard escaping white spaces , apostrophe without double-quotes around this:
cd ~/documents/study/new/beej\'s\ guide\ to\ unix\ ipc_code/examples
in case, there way can avoid hard escaping @ all?
the tilde (~
) won't expanded inside quotes, need leave outside quotes. of these work:
cd ~/"documents/study/new/beej's guide unix ipc_code/examples" cd ~/documents/study/new/"beej's guide unix ipc_code"/examples cd ~/documents/study/new/beej"'s guide unix "ipc_code/examples
