$ HDA1="\"/mnt/hda1/Documents and Settings\""
$ echo $HDA1
"/mnt/hda1/Documents and Settings"
$ cd $HDA1
bash: cd: "/mnt/hda1/Documents: No such file or directory
It may be since you are using HDA1 as a variable, and hda1 is in your path, that you may have to escape the hda1 to get it to work; or use single quotes. |
I tried all possible combinations with double quotes, single quote, slashs, backslash in defining the variable all same: linefeeds after space.
I read that
-1 (digit one, not lower L) parameter may prevent new line feed for ls command but I could not implement it to cp or mv commands
Thanks for the link by the way .
