I want to write a script that uses ls and grep to send a filtered list of
files to tar to create an archive. I'm getting hung up on filenames that
contain spaces. What looks wrong below?
jconte@peregrine:~/Desktop/spaces$ ls
filename with spaces
jconte@peregrine:~/Desktop/spaces$ ls -Q
"filename with spaces"
jconte@peregrine:~/Desktop/spaces$ tar -cf ../test.tar $(ls -Q)
tar: "filename: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: with: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: spaces": Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
Thanks for any suggestions.
Jonathon
