File names with spaces in BASH

Question

I\'m trying to write script that\'ll crop and resize large photos into HD Wallpapers.

#! /bin/bash


for i in `ls *.jpg`
do
    width=`identify -format \'%w         


        

Answer 1

Use read to circumvent the problem with spaces. It looks a bit unnatural to write the loop like this but it works better:

find . -type f -iname "*.jpg" | while read i
do
    # your original code inside the loop using "$i" instead of $i
done

with -iname you also get the jpg files that might have an extension with different casing like .JPG. "i" in "iname" means ignore casing.
