Shell error by file names with spaces

[gamma]

Hallo,
I want to copy files, which Names have spaces. For example:

Code: Alles auswählen

$ ls t*
titel mitn(2) vonKk.txt 

When I use "find", I got the file name separately, like that:

Code: Alles auswählen

$ for i in $( find . -type f -mmin -200 ); do echo $i; done
./titel
mitn(2)
vonKk.txt
$

How can I get the correct name?

Thanks a lot for your answers?

Set the IFS (see man page "bash") to something else than the default values, for example:

Code: Alles auswählen

mars:/tmp# touch "this is a test.txt"
mars:/tmp# ls -l this*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 2008-03-17 13:09 this is a test.txt
mars:/tmp# for i in $( find . -type f -name "this*" ); do echo $i; done 
./this
is
a
test.txt
mars:/tmp# IFS=";"
mars:/tmp# for i in $( find . -type f -name "this*" ); do echo $i; done 
./this is a test.txt
mars:/tmp#

There are probably other ways, too, this is just an example.

Regards, Joerg.

Thanks Joerg, your tip is which I needed. I have tried to find a solution during more than 4 hours. I tried all, for example I tried with

Code: Alles auswählen

IFS="\n".

but this doesn't work when the file name has "n" .
I saw too, that the option -exec from "find" may be useful.

Thanks, again
Jorge
