Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Moving filenames containing spaces Post 302279703 by amicon007 on Friday 23rd of January 2009 02:56:20 PM

Code:
FILESSH=$(ls /mysh/*.sh)
--- FILESH being used here for some other task ---
echo "$FILESSH" | while read FILE

This does not break for leading or traing whitespaces for me...

Code:
 for FILE in $(echo $FILESSH)

This breaks for any space in the name

Code:
for FILE in /mysh/*.sh

Code:
echo "$FILESSH" | while IFS= read -r FILE


Code 1,3,4 breaks if no sh file is found in the directory (they goes in loop once)....Code 2 does not but it breaks for any space in filename Any ideas?

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure. EXAMPLES
Example #1 Sending a SITE command to an ftp server <?php // Connect to FTP server $conn = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com'); if (!$conn) die('Unable to connect to ftp.example.com'); // Login as "user" with password "pass" if (!ftp_login($conn, 'user', 'pass')) die('Error logging into ftp.example.com'); // Issue: "SITE CHMOD 0600 /home/user/privatefile" command to ftp server if (ftp_site($conn, 'CHMOD 0600 /home/user/privatefile')) { echo "Command executed successfully. "; } else { die('Command failed.'); } ?> SEE ALSO
