I'm trying to get the md5sum of every file of a directory, in this format :
hashcode dir/path/to/file
I'm using :
md5sum $(find /path/to/dir -type f | sort)
but this doesn't work if the file as a white space in its name.
And adding apostrophes: md5sum "$(find /path/to/dir -type f | sort)" doesn't seems to solve the problem (it only print the path, not the md5 anymore).
If the folder has only one layer deep then simply let the shell expand file names like this
md5sum *
If there are more layers then you can enable globstar and the output will still be sorted as expected
shopt -s globstar
md5sum ** 2>/dev/null
Alternatively use find directly
find -type f -print0 | sort -z | xargs -0 md5sum
