-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Vladimir Giszpenc on 4/2/2008 8:08 AM: | Hello, | | I was wondering if there was a way to handle spaces in filenames (as an | enhancement). Newlines supposedly cause problems too, but I don't think | I have ever seen a file with one. However, spaces in filenames are | common. | | Could they be escaped or quoted?
Try find's -print0 action, as well as xargs' -0 option. By using a NUL terminator rather than space or newline, you can handle arbitrary file names safely. The manual contains other examples of how to properly handle problematic file names. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
