Backup recovery with spaces in name

Hey all! I recently lost all the work I did last night for a final paper. I unfortunately made a rookie mistake and put spaces in the name of my file. I went through command line to ~/.config/libreoffice/4/user/backup and I’m trying open it with “libreoffice Final Essay.0dt_0.odt” but terminal thinks each is a separate argument and tells me it doesn’t exist. I also went through the backup GUI libreoffice provides, where it recognizes it’s all one file but that’s grayed out and I can’t access it there either. Any suggestions would greatly help!

Try an alternate syntax libreoffice\ Final\ Essay.0dt_0.odt with shell escape character reverse solidus (assuming you’re under some Linux with bash).

Did you escape only the last filename with double quotes instead of the full path?
