#2 Re: Easily renaming multiple files. Posted by Anonymous (82.119.xx.xx) on Wed 1 Jun 2005 at 12:59 Those mentioned quotes around the argument won't prevent problems with spaces in filenames. The problem is in "for" command which will use the space as separator between its arguments, so if we have files "a.jpg" and "b b.jpg": for i in *.jpg is equivalent to for i in a.jpg b b.jpg so "echo $i" will be executed 3 times and for files which actually don't exist ("b" and "b.jpg") Does anyone have a solution to this?
