Apologies for this OT post. I need some help debugging a bash script. It just happens to be provided by Apple Inc.

In a terminal session under OSX-10.9.3 I want do do this:

cd ~/'Library/Application Support'

Which is a simple enough request. However, OSX returns: cd /users/byrnejb/Library/Application: No such file or directory. The space evidently acts as a delimiter to cd even though the path is quoted.

I don't use, nor do I have a copy of OSX to test against, but my suggestion may still apply.

Escape the space with a backslash. cd ~/Library/Application\ Support
