so it 's still interpreting the spaces as argument separators.
here are my experiments with this, and the one tnat finally worked...
# export win= '/mnt/w2k/Documents*/Stuart/Application*/Real/RealOne*/ '
# echo $win
/mnt/w2k/Documents and Settings/Stuart/Application Data/Real/RealOne Player/
# cd $win
# pwd
/mnt/w2k/Documents and Settings/Stuart/Application Data/Real/RealOne Player
so i would say that using the * wildcard seems like a useable way forward.
for you this would be:
/mnt/W2K/Documents*/Mathieu*/Application*/Mozilla/Profiles/Default*/
qe0cqve6.slt
give it a try and see if it works...
