I'm trying to write a bash command to transcode some videos into audios
but am having trouble with filenames that contain spaces.
ls *flv
returns this:
Jorge Drexler - Al otro Lado del Río.flv
But in a bash for loop it doesn't work.
for f in `ls *flv`; do echo $f; done
returns this:
Jorge
Drexler
-
Al
otro
Lado
del
Río.flv
Anybody know how to keep $f intact?
Look at the use of the IFS internal variable in bash and do something
like:
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b"); for f in `ls *flv`; do echo $f; done
exactly what I needed. I'd never discovered IFS before
all my youtube soundtracks can now move to google music! woohoo!!!
