I'm afraid I don't know `locate' at all (it isn't on my system), but |
| 19 |
does it have something like `ls''s -1 option which prints out each |
| 20 |
filename on a separate line? In this case you could put quote marks |
| 21 |
around each file name, for example like this: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
locate .... -1 ..... | sed "s/^.*$/\'&\'/" | xargs md5sum |
