Quoting is a solved problem, including quoting quotes. Using newlines a command argument separator because there may be spaces in files names is a regression from accepted CLI design, and doesn't even solve the problem of newlines in file name which filesystems also allow. Besides, hilarity also ensues there when a file happens to be named 'rm'. Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words." From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@*.org> Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:29:21 -0800
