Re: [gcmd-usr] Passing multiple file pathes to shell scripts

[mi]

I setup these files:

file one.mp4                    # one whitespace
file  two.mp4                   # two whitespaces
file   three .mp4               # three whitespaces plus one before the suffix



This works when invoked from shell, but not with gcmd:

        files="$@"
        basedir=`pwd`
        targetdir=$basedir/New_Folder/
        mkdir $targetdir
        #
        alias message='zenity --info --text'
        #
        files=$(printf '%s' "$files" | sed 's/\.mp4/\.mp4\\n/g')
        message "$files"
        echo -e "$files" | grep -vx "" | while read file; do
        message "$file"
        mv "$file" $targetdir
        done

Note: Uses the tool (installable package) 'zenity' for X feedback.

It's difficult to print correct X feedback since many print commands or tools 
mangle whitespaces in complicated ways and it then gets unpredictable what 
exactly ends up with the 'mv' command.  Maybe it's safer to print debug info 
into file but i didn't try that.
