Bash mis-interprets spaces in filenames
- Space treated as filename-delimiter by default
- “my file” interpreted as two files: my and file
IFS environment variable can be used to specify an alternate (or no) delimiter
- Always reset after changing
OLD_IFS=$IFS # Backup old delimeter
IFS=$(echo) # Set empty delimeter
<code> # Do stuff
IFS=$OLD_IFS # Restore IFS
