files with spaces



Hi

I tried to run a "find | xargs" command. It worked well until a file with a 
space in it showed up. There each part of the filename is treated as a 
seperate argument of the command executed by xargs.

Is there any way to get find or xargs putting a "\" in front of every space in 
a filename?

cheers,
Raffaele
