# Specifying files

When referencing file names/paths that contain spaces, you must surround them with "speech marks":

```bash
$ kryptor -e "GitHub Logo.png"
$ kryptor -e "C:\Users\samuel-lucas6\Downloads\GitHub Logo.png"​
```

Files in the same directory as the `kryptor` executable can be specified using a file name:

```bash
$ kryptor -e file.txt​
```

However, files that are in a different directory (e.g. in your `Documents` folder) must be specified using a file path:

```bash
$ kryptor -e "C:\Users\samuel-lucas6\Documents\file.txt​"
```

Multiple files and/or directories can be specified at once:

```bash
$ kryptor -e file1.txt file2.jpg file3.mp4 Photos Videos
```

{% hint style="info" %}
If you've installed Kryptor as a package, these rules apply to the working directory. The `cd` command on Windows and `pwd` on Linux/macOS can be used to print the working directory.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.kryptor.co.uk/tutorial/specifying-files.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
