jassenna Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 This is a newbie question, for which I could not find ananswer in the Win7 help:How to access directories/files with spaces in their namesfrom Windows 7 cmd.exe command line? I tried with the spaceand with some html space markers, as %20 and . Noneworked. FAT had an 8.3 filename for use in such cases, but NTFS does not.O/S: Windows 7 Home, x86 version.
bphlpt Posted March 25, 2013 Posted March 25, 2013 Unless you have disabled/removed it, Win 7, including Win 7 x64, has the ability to utilize the 8.3 version of the file name or path as well. You just have to figure out what it is.Cheers and Regards
