I don't understand why you'd use that method. If you do need to use that approach "$jim" might be better (for other uses). Try:- $ ls -Q "and two spaces" "one space" Or if the long route is required :- $ ls -1Q | while read jim; do echo "$jim" ; done "and two spaces" "one space" Cheers -- I'm tired of this back-slapping "Isn't humanity neat?" bullsh#t.
