Subject: somehow offtopic: looping filenames
Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 19:16:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120220181650.GA11514@solfire> (raw)

Hi,

how can I do this in a most compact, direct, and zsh like way:

I habe a loop like this:

for fn *
do
    flac $fn
done

Unfortunately, some file have 'illegal' filenames like

    20120220-_-19db.wav
or
    20120220 sensor10 up.wav


which parts flac sees as unknown commmand options or as
two file and the loop fails.

How do I have to modifiy the loop to make it immune against
such filenames ?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!

Best regards
mcc
