Running the command: find -name *.ext | xargs -0 rm
I get the result: rm: cannot remove `Long File Name One.ext\nLong File Name Two.ext\nLong File Name Three.ext\n': File name too long. (The actual list is much longer than this, of course, or I wouldn't be using xargs.) For some reason, the \n isn't being recognized as a separator but rather as a part of a single long file name. Don't think $IFS would affect a command like rm but it doesn't appear to be the issue: ddjo...@merlin ~ $ set | grep IFS IFS=$' \t\n' I don't see any other ser variable which looks like a likely candidate to cause the behavior. Anyone have a clue what's going on? -- "Why assume so glibly that the God who created the universe is still running it?
