These things should be beaten into anyone even thinking of doing an IT course before they're allowed near a mouse!.

Does that include the use of "-print0" on "find" and "-0" on "xargs" ;)

The beatings won't stop until all scripts handle spaces in file names correctly (I know mine don't) or we admit defeat and change the file systems to allow only a limited set of sensible characters in file names.
