1. bash and working on filenames with spaces

Hi,

I was wondering how you usually do a for loop in a bash shell script that
should work on filenames it reads from a directory when those file names
contain spaces:

$ for name in $(ls --format=single-column)

will print:
a
b
c
for a file called "a b c"
First I tried to substitute the internal field separator to <newline>:
IFS="\n"
which does not work, multiple files "a b c", "d e f" don't get detected.

Then I tried replacing the newline with "#" by changing the $(ls ...
command:
$(ls --format=single-column | sed 's/$/#/')
And adjusting IFS="#", but unfortunately sed always appends a newline
character... :(

So, how do you do stuff like that?
a) don't use spc in filenames ;)
b) ...?

Thanks
Uwe
