How do I designate a "space" in Terminal...

[orbdrums]

If I have a directory called "Automator Workflows", how would I structure the cd command in terminal to get to that directory. I can get to any directory that is a single name but don't know how to get to the directories with a "space".
Thanks.

Supposing it's in your Documents folder. Then:

cd "Documents/Automator Workflows"

Google search terms: shell quoting

There are literally hundreds of other ways to quote the pathname with a space. I find double-quotes usually suffice, though there are times when they don't.

You could also just type cd in Terminal, then type a space, then drag the Finder icon for "Automator Workflows" to the Terminal window. Terminal will expand the dropped file or folder to its full pathname.

Thanks. The quotes worked great. I found that the following line worked as well: "cd Automator\ Workflows". The backslash precedes the "space".
