Re: iterating through a hierarchy with a filter

[Alexy Khrabrov <deliverable@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have the filter given as a parameter to my script, invoked as  
suggested,

$filter < $file1 > $file2

If I give a single existing script as a parameter, it works fine.  If,  
however, I give it

walk 'iconv -f utf8 -t cp1251' srcdir tgtdir ...

-- I get "command not found" for 'iconv -f utf8 -t cp1251' at the line  
above.  Since the walk script starts with 

#/bin/zsh
filter=$1

I wonder what kind of quoting happens and how to "dequote" it so the  
command line will look indeed like

iconv -f utf8 -t cp1251 < $file1 > $file2

E.g., doing filter="$1" doesn't change it.
Cheers,
Alexy
