Searching for "spaces" through the man file for find, I find this:


 Safer `find -print0 | xargs -0` approach

      •      Find  files named core in or below the directory /tmp and delete
             them, processing filenames in such a way that file or  directory
             names containing single or double quotes, spaces or newlines are
             correctly handled.

                 $ find /tmp -name core -type f -print0 | xargs -0 /bin/rm -f

             The -name test comes before the -type test  in  order  to  avoid
             having to call stat(2) on every file.

Does that give you some clues?

I just don't use blank spaces in file names and paths.  They cause so
many problems that I won't use them.  Everything lower-case with either
hyphens or dots as punctuation, nothing else, so I can easily type
things without having to use the shift key.  Typing bloody CamelCase
really pisses me off, and I often have to type things in somewhere
where there isn't an actual keyboard.

Thank you.

Yes, likewise I follow the same principles, prefering "Camel-style" names, e.g. AFilenameSuchAsThis.txt.

The problems arise from files that are produced by others (co-workers, downloaded, etc).
