I'm afraid I don't know `locate' at all (it isn't on my system), but does it have something like `ls''s -1 option which prints out each filename on a separate line? In this case you could put quote marks around each file name, for example like this: locate .... -1 ..... | sed "s/^.*$/\'&\'/" | xargs md5sum > Thank you very much in advance for any help! > Best regards > Meino -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
