  Using 
  sed, you first need to escape the space, and then escape the 
  back-slash.

  (in 
  vi)

  :%s/\ 
  /\\\ /g

    How 
    would I do that - :g/ /s/\ /g doesn't seem to work.

    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 '\ 
    '

      Question
      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
