LS with spaces
Hi! I'm fairly new to UNIX so don't mention that my question is stupid.

I have many problems with spaces in folders and files names.

Let's say I have the following files:
toto.txt
this is toto.txt

in /usr/local/this is a test/

Why the following commands works:

ls "/usr/local/this is a test/"

but not this one

ls "/usr/local/this is a test/*.txt"

Also, if I have the same 2 files in /usr/local/test/

Why the following commands works

ls /usr/local/test/*.txt

but not this one

ls "/usr/local/test/*.txt"

I'm on AIX 5.2 if it can helps

Thanks!

binfmt.d

BINFMT.D(5)							     binfmt.d							       BINFMT.D(5)

NAME

       binfmt.d - Configure additional binary formats at boot

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/binfmt.d/*.conf

       /run/binfmt.d/*.conf

       /usr/lib/binfmt.d/*.conf

DESCRIPTION

       systemd uses files from the above directories to configure additional binary formats to register during boot in the kernel.

CONFIGURATION FORMAT

       Each file contains a list of binfmt_misc kernel binary format rules. Consult binfmt_misc.txt[1] for more information on registration of
       additional binary formats and how to write rules.

       Empty lines and lines beginning with ; and # are ignored. Note that this means you may not use ; and # as delimiter in binary format rules.

       Each configuration file is named in the style of <program>.conf. Files in /etc/ overwrite files with the same name in /usr/lib/. Files in
       /run overwrite files with the same name in /etc/ and /usr/lib/. Packages should install their configuration files in /usr/lib/, files in
       /etc/ are reserved for the local administration, which possibly decides to overwrite the configurations installed from packages. All files
       are sorted by filename in alphabetical order, regardless in which of the directories they reside, to ensure that a specific configuration
       file takes precedence over another file with an alphabetically later name.

EXAMPLE

       Example 1. /etc/binfmt.d/wine.conf example:

	   # Start WINE on Windows executables
	   :DOSWin:M::MZ::/usr/bin/wine:

SEE ALSO

       systemd(1), wine(8)
