Gurus -

I got one simple TXT file with long file name with blank spaces in between the words. I am trying to display that full file name, but it breaks while displaying. Could somebody shed some light here?

Script
------

for i in `cat ~\temp\employee.txt`
do
echo $i
done

Try this

while IFS="\n" read line
do
  echo "$line"
done < ~/temp/employee.txt

That really worked.

My job will be complete when i delete the files under DOCS folder, those filenames which i am retreiving from the TXT file. Below script does not seems to work to delete. Please advice.

Script

cd ~/docs/

while IFS="\n" read line
do
echo "$line"
rm $line
done < ~/temp/employee.txt

Try:
rm "$line"

Nope. that doesnt help.it is still giving "File or directory not found"

Then you must have another problem besides embedded spaces in a filename. Double quotes will fix that:

$ echo testfile > "a  b"
$ cat "a  b"
testfile
$ name="a  b"
$ cat $name
cat: cannot read from file a : Is a directory
cat: cannot open file b : No such file or directory
$ cat "$name"
testfile
$ rm $name
rm: a: is a directory
rm: b: No such file or directory
$ rm "$name"
