[ale] editing variables in bash (or shell)

[Greg Freemyer]

Too late, my script is running.

Also, your script assumes the output of find wont overflow a list.

I assume that is a problem?

I did:

find .... > /tmp/files
cat /tmp/files | while read orig_path
do
...
done

Isn't that safer than your approach?

Greg
