But when I put in a shell script(shown below) and the directory name has spaces.In this case "Virtual Box Dropped" has spaces.It gives an error as shown below.

----test1.sh code------
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for jar in `find . -iname '*.jar'`;do
 jar -tf "$jar" > cls.dat
done

Code:
[root@quickstart Documents]# ./test1.sh localrunner

Error:

Hello vinoo128,

Could you please try changing your code to as follows and let me know if this helps you.
Code:
 #!/bin/bash
for jar in *.jar
 do
   jar -tf "$jar" > cls.dat
done

because anyways find is looking for the current directories files only. Let me know how it goes for you.

Thanks,
R. Singh
