quoting output

[ZuG]

Hi,
Is there a command or an awk line that will take input from a pipe and quote it? Similar to qq in perl...
Thanks,
Mark

example input and output?

 

[ZuG]

find . -name delete |xargs rm -r

If the folder has any spaces or other special chars, this obviously wont work. so I could do with something to quote the output of find into xargs. There is make a way to make find output it in quotes?

 

[Moredhel]

find . -name 'pattern' -delete
