Hi all,


I'm trying to write a bash command to transcode some videos into audios 
but am having trouble with filenames that contain spaces.

ls *flv

returns this:

Jorge Drexler - Al otro Lado del Río.flv

But in a bash for loop it doesn't work.

for f in `ls *flv`; do echo $f; done

returns this:

Jorge
Drexler
-
Al
otro
Lado
del
Río.flv

Anybody know how to keep $f intact?

Thanks experts,
Mike Wright
