That is not true. cp handles files with any characters just fine (just tested on an old RHEL 4 system with coreutils-5.2.1). I would gues you have run into shell quoting issues, but that's the standard "fun" of using special characters in filenames and Unix shells. You can't just say: $ cp File With Spaces.txt /tmp you have to: $ cp "File With Space.txt" /tmp -- Chris Adams <linux@xxxxxxxxxxx> -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
