I don't have spaces too, but correct script should not make any assumptions.

There is interesting date on http://swtch.com/plan9history/:
March 23, 1999	 allow spaces in file names

tabs) in file names. Looks like that idea with using awk was there
before whitespaces allowed, so there was no problem.
