Code:
ebook-convert Gregg\'s\ book.epub
If you could then type G and hit tab it'll auto-complete using the same file name. You can then backspace to delete the epub extension, and type in the new mobi extension. |
Thanks Russ. I will use the terminal fairly much and I have a lot of files with really long names so I'm sure the auto complete will come in very handy. The "escape" is going to take a while to sink in, but eventually I'll get it. Thanks a lot for sharing it.
