You might want to try with zsh, it's more flexible and convenient to use than bash. I haven't used it on Windows, but here's a linux example: $ mkdir -p '/tmp/foo/a bar' $ F='/tmp/foo/a bar' $ ls -ld $F drwxr-xr-x 2 lat zh 4096 Dec 5 11:26 /tmp/foo/a bar $ touch $F/xyz $ ls -laF $F total 8 drwxr-xr-x 2 lat zh 4096 Dec 5 11:26 ./ drwxr-xr-x 3 lat zh 4096 Dec 5 11:26 ../ -rw-r--r-- 1 lat zh 0 Dec 5 11:26 xyz
It has gadzillion options to set, so how it works might be function of what I have set as my zsh environment, but it should be possible. //lat -- Real programmers disdain structured programming.
