Hello All,
I am facing a problem in a script which squeezes multiple spaces into
a single space. This is required
frequently and still am not able to find a solution to this.
For Ex :
If I want to list all the files in a current directory of today's date then
,
ls -lR | grep 'May 7'
it lists properly. The same when assigned to a variable it squeezes the
mutiple spaces in "one" space only.
i.e
TODAY='May 7';export TODAY
ls -lR | grep $TODAY
it doesn't work.
How can we avoid squeezing on multiple spaces ??
Similarly , If I want to recursively find the to-day's files only , find
command doesn't give a right results.
I have tried all combinations.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Sunder
