Hi,
I am running the following command and the "ls" command gives error message that the file cannot be found. The problem is that the filename has spaces as part of the filename. The purpose is to find all files that exceeding file size of 1k. Filename might include spaces, special character like ' find . -size +1k -print | xargs ls -sd 1) The env is cygwin64 on Windows 10 2) Filename include space or special character 3) When running "ls" command directly on the folder, the screen show " ' " character surrounding the filename e.g. 'This is a Test Case With spaces in Filename.pdf' 4) In the case the filename already has ' special character, the "ls" command shows the filename with double " around the filename e.g. " This is a Tester's File.pdf" 5) When saving simple "ls" output to a file, do not see the surrounding character 6) Trying to use the -0 option with xargs but it complains the argument line too long Can you advise How to handle filename with hidden character like ' or space or to report file size of current and subdirectories Thanks, Kam Computer Engineer US ARMY, CCDC Armaments Software Engineering Center B31 Third Ave Picatinny, NJ 07806 Office: 973.724.8856
