Oh, yeah, you are inside of and doing an “amrecover”. I may have read too fast
& missed that.
I’ve found only a very minimal “cd” inside there. I can’t even “cd” more
than one level at a time.
If your outside-most level is a mac computer, you might be able to type
cd R
and then hold down “u” to choose the one with the umlaut.
And then type the whole rest of the directory (I think I have to type the
whole thing, in amrecover).
PC might have a similar way to actually type an umlauted “u”; dunno.
AND I’m not sure if this would work, and be correctly seen on the ssh’d node
or wherever
amrecover is actually running.
I suspect I would resort to
(a) telling the user to change that name!!!
and meanwhile
(b) restoring the directory ABOVE the umlaut so you get a whole lot of extra
files, but
maybe get the correct one too.
Or perhaps
(c) restore R* since that does work, whereas “cd R*” doesn’t.
