Usually, the funny path caracters are a shell problem; perl handles them already quoted. For shell, it is nice to put the file names in quotes. I wrote a simple xargs replacement where each line is an argument, and in C they are null terminated strings so no shell sees them or does word end detection. Single quotes are proof against most characters, just not '. Once in variables, double quotes are more powerful than they seem at first, since the line is only shell scanned before the variable is expanded. Null is the hard one to handle! In this ksh dialog, 'all256' is a C program that writes 0x00 through 0xff to stdout using putchar():
The null disappears and the echo adds one char, a linefeed, 256 total.
I'm trying to modify the /usr/lib/lp/model/netstandard file to generate a header for all the print jobs that are sent, but there is no formfeed defined so the the job prints right after the header with no page break.

I want to know if escape charaters work on all the popular UNIX shells. More specifically I want to know if echo "\c" will work on most of the UNIX shells and are there any specific shells on which \c won't work.
