Wine-related command line question

[Apostata]

Hello,

I want to run a program that is located on a windows partition, in the Program Files folder. However, I can't figure out how to get access to "Program Files" using the console. I tried Program_Files and Program%Files, but that didn't work either.

I'm sure the solution is obvious to many of you, but I really did look around this site before asking :)

Thanks for your help!

Use quotes (single or double) around the entire filename/path, or use a backslash in front of the space to escape it.

You can either encase the whole path in quotes like "C:\Program Files\file" or use \ to escape the space. The \ tells the shell to treat the next character literally and not as part of the command. That is, use C:\\Program\ Files\\file . The \\ means to escape the \, otherwise the shell would get hung up on the C:\ too.

thanks, guys!

C:\\Program\ Files\\file

This won't work, no matter how many backslashes you use.

You can also try cd Progra*

Wonderful thing about the linux cd command is that it can take wildcards... http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif

Yes, I have tried it and it works just fine..... Jut be sure that you don't have to dirs that start with Progra... http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
