 (jhary at prawn)$ls
another file with spaces  file with space           no-spaces-here
[11:08:54:/usr/home/jhary/tmp/spacetmp]
(jhary at prawn)$for file in * ; do echo "$file" ; md5 "$file" ;  done
another file with spaces
MD5 (another file with spaces) = 40393f6dba09f89ef5cf32c3aec61f32
file with space
MD5 (file with space) = 1de1a1be1433df2d7af11d839db3b0c1
no-spaces-here
MD5 (no-spaces-here) = aaac9a687bd4ea9d2fc487e9cfb345f7
