hey...
here's one i can't see..
goat a bunch of files in different dirs.. the files might have spaces
1foo_ aa_bb_cc.dog
2foo_aa_bbbb_cc.dog
3foo_aa_bb _ccc.dog
4foo_aa_bb_cc.dog
5foo_aa_bb_cc.dog
6foo_aa_bb_cc.dog
i'm trying to figure out how i can do a complete list of all files with
*foo*dog
so i get the files with spaces and underlines...
i thought simply doing somehting like
ls '*foo_*.dog' and surrounding the filename with single quotes would
work.. but it doesn't.
thoughts/pointers/etc...
thanks
you may have to do a: find ... -print0 | xargs --null
That way, xargs will see the file names with spaces in them.
The trick is: -print0 separates file names with nulls, and xargs --null
reads arguments separated by nulls.
Good luck!
