Sorry to be such a pest today. I'm working on a sh script that uses a
for loop. To test, I've written the following:
for i in `/usr/bin/find /multimedia/Pictures -iname "*.jpg" -or -iname
"*.gif" -print`
do
echo -e "\n$i"
done
The first line 'find' returns is "/multimedia/Pictures/1998
Christmas/April01.JPG"
Yet 'echo $i' only returns "/multimedia/Pictures/1998", stopping at the
first space. Is it possible to get 'i' to represent the whole string
that 'find' returns? If so, how?
Thanks,
Drew
