Subject: Reading difficult directory name correctly:
Date: Thu, 10 Dec 2020 13:47:49 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ce571bad-2815-c08a-7064-350ec79f8a82@eastlink.ca> (raw)
I may have asked this before but I can't remember the answer. So the
directory below is created automatically by certain software:
$ls drwxr-xr-x 2 4096 2020-10-02/19:58:13 Sky above 49°30'N
123°30'W at Sat 2020 Oct 3 5:35_files/
Tab completion seems to put backslashes where needed but the " _files "
is left off:
$ rm -r Sky\ above\ 49°30\'N\ 123°30\'W\ at\ Sat\ 2020\ Oct\ 3\ 5:35
rm: cannot remove "Sky above 49°30'N 123°30'W at Sat 2020 Oct 3
5:35": No such file or directory
Is there a fix for this? Not a big deal since just typing in the "
_files " works fine, still I'm expecting the underscore to cause no
issues.
