[wellylug] encryption question

[Mark Signal]

thanks
this worked

IFS=$'\n'
# if the encryption key is there use it to encrypt all files
if [ -f $KEY ]; then
        for FILE in `find $DATADIR -type 'f' | grep -i -E
"\.[dx][ol][cs]$"`;
        do
        ccrypt -eqfS .encrypted -k $KEY $FILE
        done
fi

this just encrypts .doc and .xls file at the moment

What does IFS refer to?
and is it IFS=$' \t\n' by default?

thanks again

Mark

You could try setting the IFS=$'\n'

That aside, file-names with spaces are atrocious ;}
