Working with strange filenames
How can the script below be made to always work no matter the filenames returned by find ?
#!/bin/sh
cmds_should_always_work() {
echo "nn*********************************" $1
stat --printf='%n' -- "$1" || echo STATFAILED
echo "n----------------n"
lsattr -d -- "$1" || echo LSATTRFAILED
echo "n----------------n"
};
for item in $(find "$1" -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1); do cmds_should_always_work "${item}"; done
For example files in the find directory that contain a new line break this script.
Further if the find directory is named e.g. $schema, this script returns the parent directory. How can this be avoided by the script vs. having to supply and escaped path somepath/$schema to the script?

Try to useexec
option of find instead offor
loop.
