I'd use sed in the script. On Thu, 16 Feb 2006, Dotan Cohen wrote:
Another friend has provided me with a simple bash script that performs an operation on all the files of a directory. However, many of the file names contain spaces. How can I modify the following code to work on files with spaces? The directory is on a mounted FAT32 partition. #!/bin/bash PWD=`pwd` for file in `find $PWD -name "*.mp3"` do eyeD3 --force-update --set-encoding=utf8 "$file" done I had considered converting the spaces to underscores, but that would upset the delicate wife/linux balance in our household.
