How can I cd into a dir, when it contains spaces, and I need to use it in a
script?
the directory:
/home/user/this is a folder/something
normally I would use:
cd /home/user/this\ is\ a\ folder/something/
but in a script I cant just add the "\"
like:
find . -type d | while read FOLDER; do cd $FOLDER; done
$ No such file or directory
the problem is, that there would be more "special chars" then spaces, "sed"
them all? :D
Try enclosing the name in quotes:
... cd "$FOLDER" ; done
