I forget if you are one of the ones who considers spaces "stange
characters", but that general method breaks with filenames with spaces.
I general find that instead of:
for foo in `find blah`; do
# do stuff
done
the following is typically more reliable:
find blah | while read foo; do
# do stuff
done
