Maybe now they do, but when they were first written they did not. (Or so I understand.) The -print0 solution was the easy/obvious choice, especially given that the NUL character couldn't be found in a filename. It required near zero change to the existing code, and handled all weirdo filenames with ease. -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
