Or, you use `xargs -0` for null termination instead of white space termination. `find` conveniently supports `-print0` that will use null character as separator.

Try not to do that in an uncontrolled file system. Filenames can and will have newlines, including trailing newlines, because evil people like myself inject them everywhere in our local user folders to keep sysadmins on their toes. Use the (now, finally, POSIX) -0/-print0 options for all file parsing which produces the correct behavior on all UNIX systems.

Another trick that took me years to learn is to use `xargs -I` to split the results into "items"

For example

`ps aux | grep process-name | grep -v grep | awk '{ print $2 }' | xargs -Ieach kill -9 each`
