Using ls for something like this is never a good idea, as Daenyth's link repeatedly points out. Use bash's globbing to get the job done. for i in *; do foo $i done Also unlike ls, this won't fail because of aliases or white spaces, either. It just works(tm). d On Tue, May 18, 2010 at 5:40 PM, Samuel Martín Moro <faust64@gmail.com>wrote:
you may want to try for i in $(`which ls` -d .) ; do `which ls` $(`which pwd`)/$i; done it does work here

Guys,
I'm usually quite good at one-liners, but my simple ones no longer work in Arch. Same cli works fine in suse. What have I messed up? To wit:
What could keep the simple cli from working on Arch? I know this stuff worked before updates this morning... What should I look at? Bash was updated from 4.1.5(2) to 4.1.7(2). I can't reproduce it, though.
I cannot reproduce it either and suspect that your "ls" under $() is not the real ls, but an alias. I've played with some, and they indeed produce bad output.
If this is the case, replace "ls" with "/bin/ls" in the above and try again
