Your
problem could be that you need to escape the spaces in the file names prior to
running your test.
Modify
your a.lst file & replace all spaces ' ' with slash space '\
'
-Rob
I have a file
(a.lst) that has a list of fully pathed filenames, 1 per line - in this
format:
"/path/to/the/name_of_file.doc"
"/path/to/the/other/name of
the doc noting spaces.doc"
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 -
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
