Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Find files where filename ends with space Post 302987699 by rbatte1 on Wednesday 14th of December 2016 11:49:18 AM

The problem is that the for loop is parsing the arguments it gets, based on the space.

If you let find control the loop, it should work:-
Code:
find . -name "Test.*" -exec echo "({})" \;

I get this output:-
Code:
$ touch "Test.dat "
$ find . -name "Test.*" -exec echo "({})" \;
(./Test.dat )
$

I hope that this helps, but I'm sure you need to use it in some wider context. How can we help you there?
