UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hello,

So I wrote down the lyrics to a new song I'm working on in notepad (Windows) before I forgot them, then wanted to upload it to my website.

In cygwin, I copied it to my lyrics folder. The original filename was Queen of my Castle.txt but obviously in cygwin I just copied it as queeno~1.txt due to the 8 character limit.

Anyway, it was uploaded to the web server still in it's 8 character format, but now I want to rename it to the full name. How do I do that? I thought of using the %20 code for spaces, but I don't want them to appear in print as part of the filename. I can't use normal spaces as cygwin thinks it's multiple files (of course).

Thanks.

H.

Code:

mv "mysong~1.txt" "my song with spaces.txt"

Thanks. Quotes for strings, I should have remembered that from programming!
