Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Expanding a list of wildcard filenames with spaces Post 302966765 by mij on Tuesday 16th of February 2016 11:18:46 AM

I knew it had to be something simple, I did not realize it was just a case of ls also needing the IFS to be null too. For my needs both solutions work perfectly but that version is the most flexible.

Thank you so much to you both.
