Hi Rho`n

Hi Rho`n,

Very interesting episode. I did a quick search and learnt that besides xargs, grep, sort and wc can receive null-terminated input via the '-z' option. Also it seems that tar can handle null-terminated filenames by the use of '--null'. Certainly more to explore for me :)

Regards oxo

Good episode

Hi Rho`n,

This was great. I had some similar thoughts to you and made a comment on show 4373. You win more HPR points by making a show about it though ;-)

I have a "to do" note to myself to prepare a show on 'find', but have never got round to it. It's a very powerful and useful tool, and someone should talk about it!

Similarly with 'xargs', as you said.

Cheers, Dave
