Don't forget to set IFS="\n" if you do this.
Otherwise you'll miss filenames which start/end with a space.

What about filenames containing \n?

I usually avoid this kind of mess by using 'find -print0 | xargs -0' i don't know if it applies here as i wasn't able to find the full fragment that was referred to.
