Iterate over a list of files with spaces

Question

I want to iterate over a list of files. This list is the result of a find command, so I came up with:

getlist() {
  for f in $(find . -iname \"f         


        

Answer 1

You could replace the word-based iteration with a line-based one:

find . -iname "foo*" | while read f
do
    # ... loop body
done
