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 - 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) Thanks again, Michael <IMG class=inlineimg title=cool height=16 src="cid:875373315@04052004-304e" width=16 border=0> </BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
