Script to find files that begin with a space

[Kennedy]

Hi all,

Please forgive my bash scripting ignorance, but I was wondering if one of you scripting gods could help me with a small script or command to output a list of files that start with a space character.

Using the find command or something similar is where I'm heading.

Cheers,
Gav

Wow, how simple:

find /Users/username -name " *"

I'm going to try and output the list of files to a text file and email it to our support team as an attachment. If I manage to get this working I'll post it up. If anyone has any tips of existing scripts like this in the meantime, that would be great.

Cheers,
Gav

Try:

find /Users/username -name " *" -exec echo {} > /tmp/outfile.txt ;
