#14 Re: Easily renaming multiple files. Posted by Swynndla (210.54.xx.xx) on Thu 2 Jun 2005 at 22:09 I have had trouble with for loops and spaces for other things, eg when cat'ing files, the following won't keep spaces between words: for i in `cat file`; do blah blah "$i"; done So I use the following instead: cat file | while read i; do blah blah "$i"; done And that works as "read" reads in a line at a time. Now I tend to use this method for everything and hardly ever use "for".
