But,if you are going to try something like vi "aa dd" where "aa dd" is the
filename,it will interpret it as 2 different files to be edited.
You can have space between filenames only if you use a little bit of
scripting,stuff like ,if you say put a file from windows to unix named "aa
bb.txt".It remains on unix,but you can rename it as follows:
mv 'aa bb.txt' aa_bb
I don't think i am wrong at this.I have tried it and only then written it.
At least i am not aware how you can directly create a file with spaces on *nix
.Only through some other ways...
Enlighten me on the last stuff,if u so say.
