Hi Pavel, > > makes the IFS handling a bit more robust.
What I meant is that save_IFS="$IFS" for fpf_dir in $fpf_dirs do IFS="$save_IFS" [Some more code] done IFS="$save_IFS" is more robust than save_IFS="$IFS" for fpf_dir in $fpf_dirs do [Some more code] done IFS="$save_IFS" because the [Some more code] may invoke word splitting, and as a programmer I would expect this word splitting to be performed against the default IFS.
