@ShipluMokaddim, that doesn't work. for x in $output with such a find command will cause a file named two words to be iterated over as one value "two and another value words".

@ShipluMokaddim, ...the same thing is true if you use ar=( $output ) with output assigned in that way, because parameter expansion and command substitution results don't go through the quote removal parsing phase.
