Hi,

I'm busy writing a script that does 'something' with every file found.

It does something like:

for a in $( find /mnt/Data/Todo -type f -exec basename {} \; ); do /usr/bin/stcommand $a /usr/bin/2ndcommand $a done

The problem here is simply: it works only as long as the filename does not contain any whitechars :(

Is there a good way to get around this?

Put $a in double qoutes. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (13.7°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
