I have to deal with this at work all the time -- we have a batch processing system that uses "cat *" to feed data into pipelines and as the dataset sizes has increased we've found places where it explodes and has to be fixed. Its a royal PITA. Do It Right The First Time and you won't have to worry about it in the future when your system is handling 100x the data it is now. Also, find -print0 | xargs -0 will handle files with spaces correctly. -- Doug White | FreeBSD: The Power to Serve dwhite@gumbysoft.com | www.FreeBSD.org
