<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color=black
face=Verdana><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Verdana;color:black'>I
have a file (a.lst) that has a list of fully pathed filenames, 1 per line - in
this format:<br>
<br>
"/path/to/the/name_of_file.doc"<br>
"/path/to/the/other/name of the doc noting spaces.doc"<br>
<br>
I need to know how I can loop through this file, a.lst, and for each entry,
perform a test -s on it. If it exists, I want to put the entry into exists.txt,
if it does not, I want to put the entry in noexist.txt -<br>
<br>
Can someone please help me? (I've tried for foo in `cat a.lst`, but due to the
spaces in 90% of the filenames, it pukes, as it appears to be using space as
the delimiter)<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
