Hello,

use quote or escape the blank space
# mv 'ec Hi.txt' ecHi.txt
or
# vi ec\ Hi.txt

Cheers

You have two pages of questions an exactly one point assignment.

Click here: http://forums1.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/pageList.do?userId=CA1084347&listType=unassigned&forumId=1

Fix the problem. Be a good itrc citizen.

I know its not about the points, but we really need to get through to peterchu about how tings work around here.

Good solutions guys. You deserve 10 points.

I'm not posting to your threads until you do something about point assignment. Thats denying you an important resource. At least me an my 4502 Linux poionts seem to think so.

To my colleagues, feel free to disagree, but I'm adamanet. You folks deserve recognition for your work on peterchu's threads.

I'm with SEP.
1 / 180, that's not a fare way to participate ITRC.

I might be mistaking but I think that's not the first time you have complain.

I'm with you SEP, I think peterchu would be a good itrc forumer and to assign points.

If he would play nice, we might even tell him about TAB in bash.

Have a nice weekend,

If I provide an answer I also woudl like to see that acknoledged, either by a point or a thank you. Without that my time and effort may have been a complete waste, so I will not bother a next time.

But more importantly, and this counts whether I replied myself or not, I just want to know which replies where most useful.
Points help describe that with monimal effort.
BTW, an automatic 10 points 'for the effort' does NOT help me and IMHO, is almost as annoying as no points.

Finally, I also like to see a 'bunny' attached to solved problems. Prefereably to the best reply, but if need be to just any reply! This helps me determine quickly which topics to attempt to help with and which to skip, (or try to learn from) as it has already been solved.

Cheers,
Hein.
