Follow-up Comment #1, bug #39824 (project findutils): Ok, I see that *tr \n \0 | xargs -0* is exactly equivalent to *xargs -d\n*. Still, filenames containing blanks are easily created using gui save dialogs whereas newlines cannot be inserted that way.
So I will submit a patch to the documentation which will recommend always using *-d\n* when *-0* is not possible, and will add *-d\n* to all of the invocations which do not use *-0*. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?39824> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
