Description hjl 2002-05-21 12:13:37 EDT

# cd .gnome-desktop
# ls
hjl's Home  Trash
# ls | xargs ls
xargs: unmatched single quote

Comment 1 Tim Waugh 2002-05-21 12:23:33 EDT

ITYM: find -print0 | xargs ls 
 
xargs interprets quotes in its input---it is correct to complain when they 
don't match up.

Comment 2 hjl 2002-05-21 12:41:20 EDT

It still doesn't work:

# find -type f -print0  | xargs file
./hjls Home: can't stat `./hjls Home' (No such file or directory).

Comment 3 Tim Waugh 2002-05-21 13:09:30 EDT

Use xargs -0.
