This looks promising: ~> /bin/ls -1a /cdrom . .. ~> /bin/ls -1a /cdrom | xargs -0 echo a a . ..
Note that echo is called only once (only one 'a') and the newlines are still there. The trick is that xargs is expecting a null character to separate the arguments, which is not there, so it's all treated as one agument. How does this work? svnlist | xargs -0 svn ps svn:ignore -- http://www.fastmail.com - IMAP accessible web-mail ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming The Go Parallel Website, sponsored by Intel and developed in partnership with Slashdot Media, is your hub for all things parallel software development, from weekly thought leadership blogs to news, videos, case studies, tutorials and more.
