On Mar 1 17:50, Paul Allen Newell wrote:Given that the problem is identified (basename doesn't like spaces),This is not correct. It's not that basename doesn't like spaces, the problem is incorrect quoting. Example:
$ basename /a/b/c.d .d c $ basename "/a/b/c.d .d" c.d .d
And since the result still contains a space, you still have to quote it when using it in subsequent calls:
$ cat "c.d .d" Hello $ cat c.d .d cat: c.d: No such file or directory cat: .d: No such file or directory
