*URLs* cannot (legally) have spaces (the syntax spec forbids it). OTOH, it is possible to use URL encoding to encode a local part with 'spaces' (hostnames never have spaces) into a URL: svn merge -c 12345 https://mytext.abb.com/app/path/to/Roaming+Apple.txt . OR svn merge -c 12345 https://mytext.abb.com/app/path/to/Roaming%20Apple.txt . OTOH, if you were refering to a plain local file, you could use single or double quotes: svn log 'Roaming Apple.txt' OR svn log "Roaming Apple.txt" > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services hel...@deepsoft.com -- Webhosting Services
