k600_extractor.sh throws errors during extraction

[pace577]

Running bash k600_extractor.sh gives the following output (first 11 lines)

Expected behaviour: No errors must be thrown during extraction

[pace577]

It's probably caused by the following line of code:

tar_list=$(ls $curr_dl)

The file names in k400_targz/train and k400_targz/val contain spaces, so a file name is split up into multiple names when executing this line.

k600_extractor.sh ran without errors after I manually replaced all spaces in the tar file names with underscores.

I guess the follwoing command is useful to do the replacement:

for file in *; do mv "$file" `echo $file | tr ' ' '_'` ; done

Do you have an updated script that runs without errors ? I can update the current one, if so. Thanks.

Submitted a pull request (#34) with the working script, using the suggestion from the above comment. This seems to be working!
