I don't have spaces too, but correct script should not make any assumptions. There is interesting date on http://swtch.com/plan9history/: March 23, 1999 allow spaces in file names I think it will be better to just disallow whitespaces (spaces and tabs) in file names. Looks like that idea with using awk was there before whitespaces allowed, so there was no problem.
