Please don't do that. It's not portable. With dash being the default shell on ubuntu, on the way to become the default shell on debian too, followed soonish by all other debian derivatives and probably other distributions, you'll get a broken IFS. Like: 00000000 2d 65 20 |-e | If resetting IFS is important, please do it like this instead: IFS=' ' You'll get what you want: 00000000 0a |.| without breaking anything.
