spaces and special chars
Authored by: liyanage on Oct 30, '01 04:55:57AM
Hmm, I cannot reproduce your problem, it works flawlessly for me:

% pwd
/Volumes/Wensleydale/artists/C/Cachao (Israel Lopez)/Master Session Volume I

I recreated your exact directory, opened the deepest folder in the Finder and clicked on the Icon in the toolbar. A terminal window opens and drops me into the right directory. The pwd output above is what I get immediately after the window opens.

But you did remind me of the possibility of one special character that could cause a problem: a single quote. I've now changed the script so it will handle that case too.

Let me know if you find other filenames that break it...
