Use Bash script to move and edit files with spaces in their names.

Asked by toben88 in Bourne-Again Shell (bash), Shell Scripting

Tags: bash

I have a bash script that loops every 5 minutes. It looks through a folder grabs all the file names - encodes the files to a new video format and moves them.

This works great except for all files with spaces in the name. Help me find out how to properly account for spaces in the names without renaming them.

So the script sees ../encode/mp4/movie.wmv encodes it in ../encoding/mp4/ then moves file to ../encoded/mp4/movie.mp4
Then it does all the other files. If there are no files it waits 5 minutes and tries again.

Again, I need help accounting for files with spaces this script does not handle spaces in the filename correctly.

Thank you!Start Free Trial
