* rant mode on * What's wrong with blanks? The OS calls don't give a monkey's chuff so long as they're given null-terminated C-strings. Tools like find, xargs etc. have options to cope. The biggest problem is that there are a lot of sloppily written shell scripts out there that don't properly quote substitutions or that use $* instead of "$@" or that use command substitution where they should be using pipes and "xargs" and "read". That's the fault of the scripts, not the OS/emulation layer. * rant mode off * Happy Holidays everyone. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
