Tried to solve it my self for an hour or so, then found it on google "I'm feeling lucky". Thank you very much. My problem: Find files in a directory structure, file names can include spaces, create symbolic names in the current directory. The files are CA root certificates, link names should be the certificate hash. (a Sendmail + TLS configuration issue) cd /etc/mailcerts/CA find . -name *pem -print0 | while read -d $'' file do ln -s "$file" `openssl x509 -noout -hash < "$file"`.0 done Well, what do you say.

Just prepend it to whatever your usual way is. Default is all whitespace. Example: IFS=" " for file in `find . -type f|grep .ext$` do /do/something/to $file done You could also use the bash input field separator. Just prepend it to whatever your usual way is.
