bash - Loop through files within a path (with spaces) -
i wanted pass path name script, path has spaces (eg. /users/netto/itunes \media/music/). have tried putting actual path directly on loop, , able files. unfortunately, not pass variable. have tried both double quote, , single quote. have currently
$path=$1 f in $path; echo "processing file $f " done
please let me know on how this. thank in advance.
spaces in variables expanded @ command level, solve problem can either put quotation marks around "$1" (so spaces escaped) or use bash arrays.
here 2 example should work:
#!/bin/bash dir="$1" f in "$dir"/* echo "processing file $f " done
or using bash arrays:
#!/bin/bash files=("$1"*) f in "${files[@]}" echo "processing file $f " done
