how to find out all files or folders which has space in the name, andincludes specific string recursively?
suppose there are some folders and files in folder /tmp/noname.com
like /tmp/noname.com/html/School Photos/help me.html /tmp/noname.com/www bak/html/cam/pics/many thanks.html /tmp/noname.com/test/old test/god bless us.html ...... some of the files have a line including "global warming", like ... we all know global warming, blah, blah ... My shell script could not treat the spaces well, and I don't know how to handle it. Any hints would be appreciated!!
