This is my directory structure:
.
| a.sh
| a.txt
|
+---foo bar
| b.txt
|
+---santa
| | c.txt
| |
| \---humpty dumpty
| e.txt
|
\---test
d.txt
I want to do some operation on each file ending with .txt. However,
this script wouldn't work because in each iteration it gets one word
from the output of find.
Script:
for file in `find -name "*.txt"`
do
echo file: $file
done
Execution:
$ sh a.sh
file: ./a.txt
file: ./foo
file: bar/b.txt
file: ./santa/c.txt
file: ./santa/humpty
file: dumpty/e.txt
file: ./test/d.txt
You can see how ./santa/humpty dumpty/e.txt has been broken into two
iterations. Any way to resolve this?
