IMPORTANT: Spaces need to be escaped!
Very weird, I could have sworn the backslash was in my post after I had posted it...
Yes, single quotes would also work. I usually avoid them as I think that they tend to make thinks more messy but that might be a subjective thing.
Just out of curiosity, a quick test:
Forum software is fixed now
Looks like the backslash eating behavior of the forum software has been fixed now. Excellent. :)
Forum software is NOT fixed
Looks like I need some sleep, I confused slashes with backslashes in my earlier test.
backslashes vs. quotes

Yep, personal preference is subjective; backslash-quoted text looks sloppier to me. I'll sometimes use them in interactive shells but avoid unnecessary usage in scripts. And I think experienced shell programmers (those I respect most anyway :-)) recommend using single- or double-quoted strings. Anyway, viewing filenames that contain backslash-quoting is more inefficiently unreadable to me than simply dropping any quotes from each end. |
