Shell脚本找不到名称中带有空格的文件

Question

I created two scripts to make a checksums of a lot of files, in one of them i use the 'find' command to search the files in a specific directory, but when the file have a name with space character, 'file one.txt' for example, the script take this as two files: file and one ,I know that error is in the 'find' command line,but I don't know what I do wrong.

My script:

#!/bin/bash

find $1 -type f -exec bash ./task2.sh "{}" \;

Thanks in advanced!

In order to search for a file with spaces in the name you either have to enclose the argument in quotes or escape the spaces. Like:

find "test file.txt" or alternatively find test\\ file.txt .

The easiest fix in your particular use case is to enclose $1 in quotes:

find "$1" -type f -exec bash ./task2.sh "{}" \\;
