bash Script Using Filenames with Embedded Spaces

6 Nov 2006

      I am trying to write a simple bash script to handle files with embedded 
spaces in the filename.  For example, a listing of a directory using "ls -1"
gives:

	ls -l *.mp3
	-rw-r--r--  1 lucky users 20168832 2006-11-03 17:54 01 Allegro.mp3
	-rw-r--r--  1 lucky users  8105984 2006-11-03 17:53 02 Adagio un poco mosso.mp3
	-rw-r--r--  1 lucky users 10661760 2006-11-03 17:53 03 Rondo - Allegro.mp3

The following simplified script

	for i in `ls -1 *.mp3`
	    do
	        echo $i
	    done

produces the following output:

	01
	Allegro.mp3
	02
	Adagio
	un
	poco
	mosso.mp3
	03
	Rondo
	-
	Allegro.mp3

I have tried various combinations of single and double quotes to no avail 
including redirecting the "ls -1" listing to a file and escaping the 
spaces with a backslash, again to no avail.

Surely there must be some trick I can use to handle this anomoly.?

Thank you,
