Appendix A: Command Line Crash Course

Python
#1

Here is my small problem:

When creating the directories, I deviated slightly from the instructions, and created a file called “Learn Python the Hard Way” after the “Temp” file. Into which all the grapes pears etc… went into.

When I go back home and try and get into one of the deeper directories ie. ones beyond “Learn Python the Hard Way” it works. So:
cd Temp/“Learn Python the Hard Way”/Stuff/ etc… Works!

But:
When I am currently in “Temp” and then try and use the string to go further it does not seem to work, I keep getting an error that I do not quite understand. Here is the string I use from Temp:

[Position]
pwd
C:\Users\Satellite\Temp> ls
Directory: C:\Users\Satellite\temp

Mode LastWriteTime Length Name

d----- 07/10/2017 20:21 Learn Python The Hard Way

[String Used to go Deeper]
cd “Learn Python The Hard Way”/Stuff …And it returns an error.

What could I be doing wrong?

#2

Remember that the quotes have to be around the entire path:

“Learn python the hard way/temp/stuff/this”

That’s correct. This won’t work though:

“Learn python the hardway”/temp/stuff/this/
