Idiotic arguments like this where the user needs to be a computer-science 
expert in order to use a computer are hilarious. Unfortunately they fail 
every time.

Understanding the internals definitely allows someone to get the most out of 
the computer. But someone who's working on gene sequencing or designing 
automotive parts doesn't and shouldn't have to know the nitty-gritty details 
of what's happening down at the OS or CPU level. It's completely irrelevant 
to them.

Well, spaces in filenames do put an extra burden on someone trying to get a
script working properly.

What cracks me up is typical Microsoft thinking.  Why "Program Files" rather
than just "Programs"?  Why bloat up the filename when some of the config
GUIs (e.g. environment variable GUI) are tiny portholes that can't even
display a whole UNIX-style path?

And I'll not start on the 64-vs-32 bit nonsense of Microsoft Windows.

LOL - what a moronic claim.  Let's make people change the way they think and 
work to make things easier for computers. Because afer all.... "digital file 
names are not supposed to contain spaces".

It /cracks him up/ that there's an extra 6 chars in a directory name. Wow, 
talk about being easily amused. It's probably hilarious that the 
"lost+found" directory has a '+' in the name.

Yeah, I thought the same thing, right-off.  "These *assholes* are

As I mentioned, spaces in filenames will choke ANY command parser (unless
quoted or escaped).

Internally, Microsoft still uses the former 8.3 filename notation
because nothing else will work.  The more "liberal" file naming
convention is just a cosmetic cover.

   That's why folks quote and escape.

So? Do not get me wrong, it was a silly limit even in the 1980s, but they
create the short names so older programs can still use the files. Good that
they keep backward compatibility working!

Pray tell, why is the "short filename" still generated by windows? Might it 
be because there are *lots* of programs which can't handle anything else?

I have a program called "Web Receipts". I use it often. What "special"
attention do you think I have to give it to get complete and full use of it?

Oh.

None.

And, yes, I *have* used it with scripting. NO special attention needed for
it.

If you think there are "*lots*" why not name them?

You are the only idiot, along with Fabian, that doesn't know shit about 
the cli parser.  On OS X it does work, in case you haven't noticed, 
Koldtard.

FAT32 uses short file names, while longer name is just description as I
remember...
Yes, that depends on fs..

Win7 64 doesn't use FAT32.
Currently, Win7 can have very long filenames that you have to type in 
fully.  Or that the cli which can expand from a shortened terse 
beginning of a filename by pressing the up arrow.  So no different than 
in bash.

Idiotic dimbulb. You are dumber than a Hadron. A typical Snit

Try this (on OSX cli)

touch this will be 5 files.txt

Now do 

touch 'this will be 1 file.txt'

Then look up your files

Come back to us when you have absorbed your shock, you incompetent Snit

How come that you can breathe without artificial help? Your "brain" 
certainly isn't up to such complicated tasks

What's the point of this thread? Spaces in a filename (or *any* command-line 
arg) don't "choke" any command line parser. The command line parser behaves 
exactly as it should and follows the syntax rules exactly as designed.

Any command line arg (not just filenames) with a space needs to be quoted. 
This is how it's always been and always will be. Nothing is broken and 
nothing is choking. Things are working exactly as they're supposed to work.

Needing to add quotes around args with spaces doesn't mean something is 
broken or choking. Those are simply the command line grammar rules. Similar 
to grammar rules that exist in SQL, programming languages, etc.

Right, it does.
Just as it also does on windows and linux

Learn to read.

My post was to the cretinous claims of a dimbulb calling itself "GreyCloud"

He actually is stupid enough to claim that OSX cli parser is "smart" enough 
to recognize this all by itself.
*If* that were the case, OSX would be seriously broken in yet another area

GreyClot should stop drinking that methyl-shit. It destroys braincells

My post was to the point of the entire thread that somehow spaces cause 
things to "choke" unless they're quoted. (Escaping will also work - eg:  my\ 
file )  Do some of that reading yourself because it wasn't about you.

No parser will auto-magically figure this out. By design args with and
