[Co van Berkel]

Hi,
How can I "list" and process filenames with space(s) in the filename in a shell script?

Help...

You can do this using find;

find / -name "* *" -print

Hi,
e.g. like this:

#!/usr/bin/sh
DIR_PATH="."
ls "$DIR_PATH" | while read filename
do
echo "$filename"
echo "process $filename"
done

The qouting will probably do the trick.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reactions.

But how to change one or more "spaces" in a filename to a other character "_".

I need to pass the filename from one script ot an other including some more params.

- script_a:
ls -1 /dir/

Start-loop

./script_b
End-loop

process "$f"
./script_b "$f"
done
