Thanks Shad. That was really cool. Reminds me to reading man pages more often :) -print0 True; print the full file name on the standard output, followed by a null character (instead of the newline character that ‘-print’ uses). This allows file names that contain newlines or other types of white space to be correctly interpreted by programs that process the find output. This option corresponds to the ‘-0’ option of xargs.
