Follow-up Comment #8, bug #10678 (project findutils):
Command 4 works fine for me. Your command 5 is slightly wrong. By default
xargs does nothing with {} unless you specify -I. Example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ mkdir C#
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cd C#
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/C#$ touch "C# programmer's guide.doc"
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/C#$ ls -1
C# programmer's guide.doc
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/C#$ find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -r md5sum
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e ./C# programmer's guide.doc
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/C#$ find -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -I{} -r md5sum {}
d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e ./C# programmer's guide.doc
You used quotes in your fifth command, but in fact xargs does not pass the
commands it executes to the shell (nor does find -exec). It just executes
them directly. Therefore no quoting of the filenames to protect them from
interpretation by the shell is needed.
