[opensuse] md5sum question
Hello: I have an md5sum (sum.md5) file with files names containing spaces. When I run "md5sum -c sum.md5" I get error messages because of these file names. How can I have md5sum accept file names with spaces? TIA, IG ___________________________ VÁSÁROLNA? SEGÍTÜNK!

Have you tried putting them in qoutes? "file name with blanks" /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks, but it is not possible. Maybe I wasn't clear. I have the file names with the corresponding md5sums listed in a text file, one file per line. This text file is the input for md5sum if -c option is set: md5sum -c textfile.md5. This means that md5sum takes the file names from this file and verifies if the calculated md5sums are the same as the ones given in the textfile. The file is similar to this one: ed6a5b3feb668866df812b1c2aed9d7f openSUSE-11.0-DVD- i386.iso 113c3ef0509db0e00310e19085f3a197 openSUSE-11.0-DVD- ppc.iso 512c8346b0f8eb35f28c4eb96454d391 openSUSE-11.0-DVD- x86_64.iso The difference is that in my case the file names listed contain spaces, and md5sum chokes on them. How can I solve this? TIA, IG ___________________________ Papírképek akár ingyen!

Report a bug in bugzilla or upstream, and wait a few ages :-p Simply calculate the checksums and do the checking manually. I don't know if you change the names both outside and inside if it will work. Try first scaping the spaces. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

You could also try to change your file to have the file names in quotes. This could be done either automatically (with sed) or manually. -- Bogdan Cristea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hmm, I've just tried reproducing your problem, but I cannot. my md5sum has no problem with blanks in the file name: I created a file named "/tmp/klop 99" (a single space before 99). I ran "md5sum /tmp/klop\ 99 >/sums" Check the sums: md5sum -c sums /tmp/klop 99: OK my md5sum is from coreutils 6.4. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thank you all for your answers. I will check again the error message of the md5sum command if I interpreted it correctly and will get back.

Hello: Indeed it was a DOS-format text file. Furthermore it probably was created on windows and all the folder separators were backslashes instead of slashes. I simply overlooked this. After converting the file to unix format and replacing all the backslashes md5sum ran successfully. Thank you all again for your help. IG VÁSÁROLNA? SEGÍTÜNK!
