Hi,


I am running the following command and the "ls" command gives error message 
that the file cannot be found.  The problem is that the filename has spaces as 
part of the filename.
The purpose is to find all files that exceeding file size of 1k.  Filename 
might include spaces, special character like '

find . -size +1k -print | xargs ls -sd


1)      The env is cygwin64 on Windows 10

2)      Filename include space or special character

3)      When running "ls" command directly on the folder, the screen show  " ' 
" character surrounding the filename e.g. 'This is a Test Case With spaces in 
Filename.pdf'

4)      In the case the filename already has ' special character, the "ls" 
command shows the filename with double " around the filename e.g. " This is a 
Tester's File.pdf"

5)      When saving simple "ls" output to a file, do not see the surrounding 
character

6)      Trying to use the -0 option with xargs but it complains the argument 
line too long

Can you advise How to handle filename with hidden character like ' or space or 
to report file size of current and subdirectories

Thanks,
