Say you have a file called "my file". You want to delete that file from the basic prompt.
Typing
rm my file doesn't work, because the rm command hence gets passed two arguments, and tries to remove a file called "my".
Normally quotes would get you around this - you'd type
rm "my file" - but CC's command prompt ignores the quotes and still passes
"my and
file" as two separate arguements.
Hence it's impossible to manipulate such files via ComputerCraft short of actually
coding something to work around the issue (eg by calling
fs.delete() directly). You can probably see other instances where you'd want to be able to pass parameters to scripts that involve spaces.
Many of these other additions make me want to throw my hands up in the air and yell "well why not throw in all the other enhancement requests too?!". I guess Dan really wants people using CC networking in the next build - for some reason. Anyone happen to know what that is? It's got me scratching my head. I'd rather see improvements people can't already code themselves, like a repeater that doesn't clog up the computers directory in the world folder.
Re the 1.7 thing: Hooray. The clock's ticking for all us modpack users to abandon our worlds again. Bear in mind though, that a lot of people
won't upgrade to CC 1.6 if doing so is the requirement (heck, some people are still using builds that're years old due to lack of backwards compatibility), hence it'll be a long time before LyqydNet and the like becomes redundant for everyone if that's going to be the case.
Well done to the Forge guys, anyway, and any work on CC is appreciated too.
