Subject: [SLUG] Filenames with spaces - and using a shell script.
I am trying the write a little script to convert some MS Word files to HTML,
however some of the word files contain spaces in their name.
Hense, when I use the couple of lines below, it treats the space as a
delimiting character and chops up the filename.
Anyone know how to get around this without renaming all the files (some
350).
Ie
for FILE in `ls`; do
echo "Converting $FILE..."
done
Converting xxx...
Converting yyy...
Converting zzz.doc...
[root@panda MSDS]# ls -l xxx\ yyy\ zzz.doc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 50 Oct 26 14:40 xxx yyy zzz.doc
[root@panda MSDS]#
