Spaces

[Linux Nut]

Hi, I just wanted to know how to open a file with blank spaces in between. Like "good day to you.txt"?

What symbols do I need to go in between the words?

[CronoCloud]

You have to escape the spaces with "\"

so it would be, using less as an example:

less good\ day\ to\ you\.txt

or you can enclose the name with spaces in quotes.

Try using tab completion. For example

nano goo<tab>

Hitting the tab key should complete the file name for you. Then just press enter.

You will have to provide a lot more information in order to get a sensible answer.
Let's start from the end:
"command line inter face": What command line interface, I assume you mean a terminal window. If this is the case, which shell are you using (sh, bash, csh, ksh, zsh etc...). How to configure each shell is different.
"by using c command": Sorry but I do not know the "c" command. Do you mean a C program which can run in a terminal?
"linux operating system": Popular misconception by Windows users. Linux is the name of the kernel, distributions pack the kernel and application programs in a convenient package for easy installation by users. In order to respond to questions of a new Linux entrant, the name of the distribution is of importance.
"the color of directory": what do you actually mean, do you want to change the foreground/background colour of the text of a directory listing, Do you want to change the foreground/background colour of the directory entries in a listing. Are you looking for a CLI command to change the colour of say a Nautilus window

So to roughly translate your query into "Windows" your question becomes:
hi any one can tell me that how i can change the color of directory in KERNEL.EXE operating system by using foo command in a window.

Alternatively enclose it in quotes

less "good day to you.txt"
