If you were to get the paths into an array, you would be able to do this:
Code:
PATHS=("/tmp/what ever/this1"
"/tmp/what ever/this2"
"/tmp/what ever/this3"
"/tmp/what ever/this4")
IFS=""
for p in ${PATHS[*]}
do
echo "${p}"
done
Is that what you are looking for?
Edit: Or, now that I'm re-reading it, are you looking for how to get the paths into the array in the first place?
If so, just use IFS to call out \n\t as field seperators, and ignore spaces, while you are importing it into the array.
Code:
IFS=$'\t\n'
TAGPATH="*/*/.tag"
INDX=(`ls -Q $TAGPATH`)
