IFS
To set IFS to newline, use IFS=$'\n'. This allows find output containing horizontal whitespace to be picked up and used in e.g. for loop.
- If you can use the output with xargs, then just use find's -print0 predicate and xargs's -0 option.
Redirects
- stderr to pipe, without stdout: 2>&1 >/dev/null |
Useful functions
isnumber() {
case "$1" in
''|*[!0-9]*) echo "not a number: $1" >&2 ; return 1 ; ;;
*) return 0
esac
}
