This is not correct. It's not that basename doesn't like spaces, the problem is incorrect quoting. Example: $ basename /a/b/c.d .d c $ basename "/a/b/c.d .d" c.d .d And since the result still contains a space, you still have to quote it when using it in subsequent calls: $ cat "c.d .d" Hello $ cat c.d .d cat: c.d: No such file or directory cat: .d: No such file or directory Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
