$ find . -name "*.txt" | while read f ; do > cmd1 "$f" > cmd2 "$f" > cmd3 "$f" > done I've found that is the easiest way to use find when you have spaces in filenames. Dont forget the quotes arounf $f when you use it, or you get the same problem when running the commands (ie appears as two args instead of one). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
