Command Line

[wokko]

Hi all, got a question about the command line.

I download a video from youtube in mp4 format. The file name for the video has a space between the name of the video (The video.mp4).

My question is how do I type the name of the video on the command line to change (The video.mp4 to The-video.mp4), so what I am asking is how to type the space between the file name.

Cheers.

You have to escape the white space:

cp The\ video.mp4 The-video.mp4

Or I think you can type it in quotes like:

mv "The video.mp4" "The-video.mp4"

Thanks guys,

I tried both your ways and they both worked.
