Sample script and directories attached. I'm trying to find files with
a specific filename extension, containing a specific string, in a
directory tree where directory and file names may contain spaces, then
put it into an array with one complete path per element. I can obtain
a list with quoted paths and use command substitution to load it into
the array but the assignment ignores the quotes and each element gets
a space-delimited substring. I think it's a word-splitting problem
but am not sure how to fix it.
