You seem to be looking for find -print0; \0 is one of the few characters which is not valid to have in a file name. It's not like it's that hard to do this properly in a policy compliant POSIX shell, either. Use IFS and reset it as appropriate, or properly quote things. -- Don Armstrong http://www.donarmstrong.com Il semble que la perfection soit atteinte non quand il n'y a plus rien a ajouter, mais quand il n'y a plus rien a retrancher.
