ProgrammingThis forum is for all programming questions.
The question does not have to be directly related to Linux and any language is fair game.

Another LinuxQuestions user has provided me with a simple bash script that performs an operation on all the files of a directory. However, many of the file names contain spaces. How can I modify the following code to work on files with spaces? The directory is on a mounted FAT32 partition.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
PWD=`pwd`
for file in `find $PWD -name "*.mp3"`
do
eyeD3 --force-update --set-encoding=utf8 $file
done
I had considered converting the spaces to underscores, but that would upset the delicate wife/linux balance in our household.
Thanks. As bigearsbilly had mentioned, the quotation marks around {} were redundant. It now works!
1) there was plenty of disk space
2) permissions were never a problem
Thank you.
