I solved this one on the command line:
$ IFS="
> "
This gives the result I want insofar as how item list word-splitting
works now:
$ ls
file 1 file 2 file 3 file 4
$ for dir in `find * -type f` ; do echo -n "test "; echo ${dir}; done
test file 1
test file 2
test file 3
test file 4
Now, how do I do the above in a script? Like this?
IFS="
"
