How to cd into a directory with space in the name?

Question

I\'m attempting to get into the directory /cygdrive/c/Users/my dir/Documents:

$ DOCS=\"/cygdrive/c/Users/my\\ dir/Documents\"

$ echo $DOCS
/cyg         


        

Answer 1

If you want to move from c:\ and you want to go to c:\Documents and settings, write on console: c:\Documents\[space]+tab and cygwin will autocomplete it as c:\Documents\ and\ settings/
