Hello all, following situation: I hate white spaces in file and cranked tiny bashscript for replacing them that goes like this: for i in `find . -type f` do mv $i /some_directory/`echo $i|sed 's/ /_/g'` done On this I get complaints from mv that it cannot find files that are basically parts of the name with spaces like this: idiotic file with whitespaces cannot stat 'idiotic' -- no such file or directory cannot stat 'file' -- no such file or directory Truth to be told I hoped that find would still manage to treat them as single entity. Are my expectations to high or is it bug indeed? /wbr Ariel Burbaickij -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
