# This works
fileName='abc.xyz'
md5sum=$(md5sum ${fileName})

# This doesn't
fileName='spaces in file name.xyz'
md5sum=$(md5sum ${fileName})

How do you write the $(...) statement to allow for filenames containing 
spaces. I've tried various things ("...", '...', \"...\", \'...\', 
IFS='\n', etc) and none worked. I can't seem to get the syntax right.
