using "find" to locate files in a folder when folder name has spaces

[bilalb]

hi
hope you are well...the thing is i want to know if i have a folder named whose absolute path is as follows
/home/someuser/this folder name has spaces/

how would i use find to look for a file abc.txt in this folder meaning
if i use

find /home/someuser/this folder name has spaces/ -wholename="*abc.txt"


i get errors like

find: /home/someuser/this: no such file or directory
find: folder :no such file or directory
..
..
...
..
i know the error becuase of the fact that the name has spaces can anyone please suggest how to overcome this i have tried doing



find "/home/someuser/this folder name has spaces/" -wholename="*abc.txt"

no results
find '/home/someuser/this folder name has spaces/' -wholename="*abc.txt"
no results





can anyone please suggest how to over come this

You can do

find /path\ to\ some\ dir/ -name "*abc.txt"

Have you tried /home/someuser/"this folder name has spaces"/?

Or rename the folder. Spaces are evil.

Spaces are evil.

Spaces aren't evil, they're separators! Don't fight the system's philosophy.
