Try setting IFS to some character that you would never see in the file or directory names.

Before:
Code:
for i in "foo bar baz"; do
  echo $i
done

Output:
Code:
foo
bar
baz

After:
Code:
IFS="%"
for i in "foo bar baz"; do
  echo $i
done

Output:
Code:
foo bar baz

SIGCENSUS(1)							The Regina Handbook						      SIGCENSUS(1)

NAME
sigcensus - Form a census of splitting surface signatures SYNOPSIS
sigcensus order DESCRIPTION
Forms a census of all splitting surface signatures of the given order. The order is the number of quadrilaterals in the resulting split- ting surface. The signatures will be written to standard output, one per line, followed by a count of the total number of signatures found. Each signature will be output precisely once up to equivalence. Signatures are considered equivalent if they are related by some combina- tion of: o relabelling symbols; o rotating an individual cycle; o inverting an individual cycle (i.e., reversing the cycle and changing the case of each symbol in the cycle); o reversing all cycles without changing the case of any symbols. Upper-case symbols in signatures are not yet supported; this program will only output signatures whose symbols are all lower-case. For more information on splitting surface signatures, see Burton's PhD thesis at http://www.maths.uq.edu.au/~bab/papers/. MACOS X USERS
