Just out of curiosity, I was wondering if there is a reason for the extra space when I type ls
in the Desktop directory. Compare...
~/Desktop$ ls
file1 file2 file3
...to...
~/Documents$ ls
file1 file2 file3
Notice that when I type ls
on the Desktop I get an extra space at the beginning of the line (not part of the filename). I can't find any other example location where I get this extra space at the beginning of the line. Does anyone else get this? Is there a reason?
NB: I am using Ubuntu Bionic Beaver LTS release and the default terminal that ships with it.
touch " "
) I have two spaces in front.ls -la
instead orfind -type f -printf "file: -%P-\n"
and provide the output. Likely there's a file with non-printable character. Coloring of files also potentially could affect it, so try\ls
ordir
command
