You miss my point. Of course, for every example I give, it's possible to build a workaround to handle the spaces. My point is, it's the very fact that you need a workaround that makes it so irritating.
- txutxu 11y agoFor me, the code I did give, is not a workaround. It's the canonical way of do it. Other ways, even if they are "expected to work by inexperienced occasional users"... are simply flawed a first eye view. A workaround is to ditch shell script, as soon as you face a problem, and blame shell script, and turn to do it in a "more advanced language" that has the same or more caveats. That could be a workaround. Delimiting file names with null bytes, in case they could be split by any of the $IFS values, is NOT a workaround, is pure logic.
