Feature request: an option, maybe "-0" to use ascii null as the delimiter for the "read" command. It would make the following two commands produce the same output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp5$ printf 'hello\000there' | xargs -n1 -0 echo hello there [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/tmp5$ printf 'hello\000there' | { while read -0 ; do echo $REPLY; done; } -- pooryorick _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
