Spaces in filenames

By Danny Bols

Today's desktop users are familiar with filenames including spaces. The hell begins when those users can store files on a unix server using a windows desktop.This morning I had to change the permissions of a bunch of files on solaris. Normally i would just type in the command and run it .... but NOT this morning. A lot of files which i had to access contained spaces pffff. The unix shell is very powerfull ... so I knew there was a simple solution. I am just writing it down here so you can use it in the future:

find . -type d | sed -e 's/ /\\ /g' | xargs sudo chmod 777

First you need to understand how Maximo determines the display size of the text box. Then you can change these setting and control how large the text box should be.
