[PLUG] Strange mv behavior
I found where OBS studio puts the logs (~/.config/obs-studio/logs/) where they are listed with a space between the date and the time. When I try to mv the spacey one to one without spaces I cannot: $ mv 2021-02-09 06-56-46.txt 2021-02-09-06-56-46.txt mv: target '2021-02-09-06-56-46.txt' is not a directory Same thing happens with cp, if I try to move the destination file to ~/, and if I use the -T option. But, when I display the file in emacs and save it without spaces it does so. Has anyone seen this before? I haven't!

If you have spaces in filenames, the filename must be quoted, otherwise the shell thinks you are referring to two separate files. mv '2021-02-09 06-56-46.txt' 2021-02-09-06-56-46.txt or mv 2021-02-09\ 06-56-46.txt 2021-02-09-06-56-46.txt At least I think this is a shell thing. Regardless, you need to deal with the fact that your filename contains spaces. If you use tab filename completion in the shell, it will typically do the quoting for you. galen -- Galen Seitz gal...@seitzassoc.com ___ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
Re: [PLUG] Strange mv behavior
This is not strange behavior - space is command line argument separator in shells. Escape (precede) the space with backslash \ OR quote the file name with the space inside "file name" or 'file name'. -T On Tue, 2021-02-09 at 09:25 -0800, Rich Shepard wrote: > I found where OBS studio puts the logs (~/.config/obs-studio/logs/) > where > they are listed with a space between the date and the time.

I know that file names in spaces need to be quoted but I guess my head was inserted where the sun don't shine this morning. Thanks for pulling it out.

[PLUG] Using curl for file transfer
I use a program that uses curl to automate ftp file transfers. The problem I have run into is the username for the ftp account is an email address ( u...@host.com). When I enter the information in the window to edit the downloads, I put in the host information, then in the user box, I put u...@host.com. Unfortunately, the download failed. It was suggested to escape the @, so I tried user\@host.com, but the program did not accept the \. When I typed it, it just didn't show up. So, any curl experts out there can help me put the @ in the username? Thanks, Michael ___ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Curl is command line tool OP mentions box/window - that would suggest some GUI contraption where escaping or quoting will not work as in shell. Perhaps, we need to see the problematic command line (with changed username/hostname of course). -T > ___ PLUG: https://pdxlinux.org PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

It has a number of gui modules for different things. One of these downloads audio files from program providers for later play on the air. The module uses the cURL Library for the file transfer portion. When you program each download, you put in the various information items of host, filename, username, password, download time, etc. Does that clarification help?

Re: [PLUG] Using curl for file transfer
Is the GUI opensource? Could you modify the code to properly handle @ in the user name? This does not look like curl problem - in my experience curl command line accepts @ in --user without issues. I am sorry, I was hoping that there is curl command line involved somehow. -T On Tue, Feb 9, 2021, 22:41 Michael Barnes wrote: > On Tue, Feb 9, 2021 at 7:28 PM Tomas Kuchta > wrote: > > > On Tue, Feb 9, 2021, 15:41 Ken Stephens > > wrote: > > > > > Single quotes around the email addess? > > > > > > . > > > > > > I think that there may be more to the problem description. > > > > Curl is command line tool OP mentions box/window - that would suggest > some > > GUI contraption where escaping or quoting will not work as in shell. > > > > Perhaps, we need to see the problematic command line (with changed > > username/hostname of course). > > > > -T > > > > > > > > > The program is for radio station automation.
