Re: Script to find files with spaces
How does the find command see "* *" as a file name containing spaces?
How did this work?

Re: Script to find files with spaces
We quote the string to prevent the shell from expanding the wildcard.
The "* *" says return matches for zero or more characters ('*'), a space, and zero or more characters again. This finds file names of only spaces; file names with leading or trailing spaces; or file names with embedded spaces.
Regards!

Re: Script to find files with spaces
That find command will work. Anything else you expect from the script?
