[wplug] Handling spaces in file names

[Embery, Nathan]

OK, I'm convinced wc is brain dead. For a sum total off all lines of code
instead of a file by file break down, try this:

 find . -name '*java' | xargs -i{} cat {} | awk '{ n++} END {print n}'


Ugly no doubt.

Maybe something like this?

  find . -name '*java' | xargs -i{} wc {}

Hello all.

Simple UNIX scripting question:

I want to do this:

  wc `find . -name *.java`

on a large repository to get total number of lines of code.  But some of
the files or directories have spaces which 'wc' doesn't like.  So, do I
have to write up a script to do this or is there some way I can get 'find'
to print the file names with the spaces escaped?  (ie- "My\ Documents"
instead of "My Documents")

Thanks for any suggestions.
