Well, I still dont see any examples. I don't think it is possible even
using IFS. Even if it does work somehow, it isn't easy or intuitive.
But there is worse.
Try and run the following script:
-----------
f1="/a/b/a-000"
f2="/a/b/c d-000"
touch "a-000.ext"
touch "c d-000.ext"
for file in "$(basename \"$f1\")"*.ext "$(basename \"$f2\")"*.ext
do
echo "one=$file"
done
for file in "`basename \"$f1\"`"*.ext "`basename \"$f2\"`"*.ext
do
echo "two=$file"
done
-----------
The backticks work perfectly.
But the $() gets it very wrong and leaves a double-quote in the result.
The two methods should be exactly equivalent when there is no nesting.
