Re: shell or fileutils commands and whitespaced filenames

thx.

How can i set the IFS ? I couldn't find it mentioned in the manpage.
And 
/etc r: grep ' IFS' /etc/*
/etc/bash_completion:   local IFS=$'\t\n' xspec #glob
/etc/bash_completion:   local IFS=$'\n'
/etc/bash_completion:           local IFS=$'\n'
/etc/bash_completion:   local IFS=$'\n'
/etc/bash_completion:   local IFS=$'\t'
/etc/bash_completion:   local IFS=$'\t\n'
/etc/bash_completion:   local IFS=$'\t\n' cur=${COMP_WORDS[COMP_CWORD]} i j k
/etc/bash_completion:   local cur prev xspec IFS=$'\t\n'
/etc/bash_completion:   local cur prev xspec IFS=$'\t\n'
/etc/bash_completion:   local cmd cur prev skinsdir IFS=$' \t\n' i j k=0
/etc/bash_completion:   local cur prev config i IFS=$'\t\n'
/etc/bash_completion:   local IFS cur xspec

doesn't look promising either.
