In short any action will normally require quotes to group the bits together.

...and in shorter, it's generally not good practice to create filenames with spaces. It looks as though someone has just added a `date` command to a filename rather than taking the trouble to customise it.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

Yep, thx so much. I couldn't think of "".

I will put:

date +%y%h%d%H%M%a
