script inquiry?? looking for filename

[bonsky]

Gurus,
just want to ask, for scripting. I need to find the files in a directory with filename that has "space" in it and then move it to another directory .. thanks alot for your help in advance..

Something like:

find /pathtosearch -name '* *' -exec mv {} /newlocation \;

might work. In general, I'd strongly advise against creating filenames with spaces in any unix flavour, but that's just my opinion, of course.
