have a file (a.lst) that has a list of fully pathed filenames, 1 per line -

of the doc noting spaces.doc"<BR><BR>I need to know how I can loop through

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,
