Question Problems with find | ls within a for statement
Hello,

Code:
for dir in `find /root/test -type d` ;do
    echo "$dir"
done

for dir in `ls -1d /root/test/*/` ;do
    echo "$dir"
done

If there's a directory with spaces in name, it does echo each word of that dir separately... solution?

Code:
mkdir "test"
cd test
mkdir "example_1_2_3"
mkdir "example 1 2 3"

Example results:

Code:
/root/test
/root/test/example
1
2
3
/root/test/example1_2_3

NAME

       volmgt_root - return the Volume Management root directory

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lvolmgt [ library ... ]
       #include <volmgt.h>

       const char *volmgt_root(void);

DESCRIPTION

       The  volmgt_root() function returns the current Volume Management root directory, which by default is /vol but can be configured to be in a
       different location.

RETURN VALUES

       The volmgt_root() function returns pointer to a static string containing the root directory for Volume Management.

ERRORS

       This function may fail if an open() of /dev/volctl fails.  If this occurs a pointer to the default  Volume  Management  root  directory	is
       returned.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Finding the Volume Management root directory.

       To find out where the Volume Management root directory is:

       if ((path = volmgt_root()) != NULL) {
	       (void) printf("Volume Management root dir=%s
", path);
       } else {
	       (void) printf("can't find Volume Management root dir
");
       }

FILES

       /vol	       default location for the Volume Management root directory
