It could also recognise the null character as an argument separator as in 'find -print0'.A few weeks ago I wanted to process my .ogg files which contain all kinds of characters that are treated as meta-characters by the shell or other programs I use in sheel scripts. I eventually ended up writing a new shell dumbsh that uses NUL as argument separator, and feeding it from find, with some intermediate processing in awk (which is quite flexible about meta-characters).
