Re: shell or fileutils commands and whitespaced filenames

[Michael <earlymorning@gmx.ch>]

thx Bob. (Is there any list you're not subscribed :)

Using 'null' is slightly shorter than my 'sed' command...but somehow 
i can't help it's still not really straight enough. Doing complicated things 
just to have quite common formatted filenames handled, is so *uncool* 
for a modern shell !

If there's really no other way, then do you know of a different shell can 
maintain whitespace names just automatically ? I'd even move to csh if 
i knew it works better there.
