Hi,

It depends on what app you're doing this in.  In terminal, you would do the 
following:

users/robert/Box\ Sync/Music/Christmas/'Johnny Gill - Give Love On Christmas 
Day.mp3'

Notice that I did two different things within your filename where there was a 
space or spaces.  You can put a back-slash in just before the space so that 
Terminal will ignore that space character, or further in the filename, I put 
quotes around the title.  Both single or double quotes will work.

When in AppleScript, you use colons where Terminal would use the slash, and the 
quotes are not necessary.

HTH.

Later...

Dear List,
Can someone tell me the correct way to type a file path?
for example:

users\robert\Box Sync\Music\Christmas\Johnny Gill - Give Love On Christmas 
Day.mp3


Thanks in advance,
Rob
