find - Output is stopped because of & (ampersand). I need to enclose each line of output in quotes? I think? - Ask Ubuntu


i use pushbullet send list of modified files phone each morning. use find , printf clean list , push pushbulet script.

/home/user/scripts/pushbullet/pushbullet.sh "synced: `find /mnt/1tb/tv/ /mnt/1tb/movies/ -type f -ctime -1 | wc -l`" "`find /mnt/1tb/tv/ /mnt/1tb/movies/ -type f -ctime -1 -printf "%f\n"`"

first gets count of modified files, , list of modified files without directory.

the problem if file name file&cheese.mkv message sent me stops @ 'file' , nothing after ampersand sent. problem pushbullet script.

i think easiest make sure each line of list output goes in quotation marks cannot work out how this.

any ideas?

you can each filename in quotes piping find output while , using echo

find ... |  while read line ; echo \""$line"\" ; done

replace find ... whole find command.

the escaped quotes \" print literal " around each line, quote variable prevent expansions.

output like

"my file" "another file" "file&cheese.mkv"
