- Or you can just use quotes.
-
- mv "This File Has 6 Spaces In it" This_File_Has_0_Spaces_In_It
-
- In some causes it's easier to use quotes then \ since you can get mixed
- spaces and special characters and I think you might need to know the
- hex/dec. codes for them.
-
- For bash users..: mv This<tab> This_File_Has.... (Tab is a finisher)
