UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi guys.

I am trying, to move files found with the find command...
Script runs fine, until it reaches a file that contains spaces...

Here is what i wrote up quickly.

ROOTDIR=/apps/data
SEARCH=$(find /data/HDTMPRestore/home/tmq/ -type f -print | grep Mods/Input/bck | cut -c19-)

for i in $SEARCH

do
echo mv -i $ROOTDIR$i $i
done

In the find, i "cut" the first 19 characters as i can then use it in the mv later one...

I inserted an echo to see the move command prior to executing it...

if i launch the find at the command line, i get this:

/home/tmq/rSIMPL/Mods/Input/bck/2007-12 SEC Balance LOAD #3.csv

But through the script, it comes out like this:

mv -i /home/tmq/rSIMPL/Mods/Input/bck/2007-12 /home/tmq/rSIMPL/Mods/Input/bck/2007-12
mv -i SEC SEC
mv -i Balance Balance
mv -i LOAD LOAD
mv -i #3.csv #3.csv

So my mv -i $ROOTDIR$i $i does not work. I am thinking the variable "i" is getting each entry following a space. How can i get it to "read" the whole line as a whole?

thanks.

Code:

#!/nin/ksh
ROOTDIR=/apps/data
SEARCH=$(find /data/HDTMPRestore/home/tmq/ -type f -print | grep Mods/Input/bck | cut -c19-) |
while read i
do
echo mv -i $ROOTDIR"${i}" "${i}"
done
