How do you get these to work with filenames that have spaces in their name?

$ find <directory> -type f | xargs -i md5sum "{}" > checksums.txt

Regards,

Thanks, but that also fails if a filename has an apostrophe in its name. "Bull's Eye.txt" I get an error of "xargs: unmatched single quote".

Then my NUL byte technique will work (I think) % find ... |tr '\n' '\0' |xargs -0 cmd fixedArgs... Randall Schulz
