[SOLVED] Cant get into (wine) C:\Program Files

[Ducatiboy Stu]

when I try to go into c\Program files it says that there is no such directory.....



ncts@ncts:~$ cd .wine
ncts@ncts:~/.wine$ ls
dosdevices drive_c system.reg userdef.reg user.reg
ncts@ncts:~/.wine$ cd drive_c
ncts@ncts:~/.wine/drive_c$ ls
Program Files windows
ncts@ncts:~/.wine/drive_c$ cd Program Files
bash: cd: Program: No such file or directory
ncts@ncts:~/.wine/drive_c$




Why...?

Try cd Program\ Files
You have to escape the space.

Or, enclose it in double quotes:


cd "Program Files"

EDIT: The reason maybe is to remove ambiguity between the names as they are considered two different names, so you have to place the break (\) character or the (") quote character so the shell would know that it's one item name.

[y@w]

Just start typing Program and hit tab. It'll fill it out for you with the proper escaping (assuming you're using bash or similar shell with tab completion) :)
