Unix filenames and spaces

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I have files on my unix boxes that users have created with spaces.

Example: /tmp/project plan

ls -l "/tmp/project plan" works fine.

$/tmp>ls -l "/tmp/project plan"
-rw-r--r-- 1 root other 0 Jan 31 12:32 /tmp/project plan

I created a file called test and put just the line /tmp/project plan in it.

$/tmp>cat test
/tmp/project plan
$/tmp>

$/tmp>for i in $(cat test) do ls -l "$i" done
/tmp/project: No such file or directory
plan: No such file or directory

I have tried to quote this string in and outside of the file everyway possible and I cannot get this for loop to see the spaced file. Any help would be great.

echo $i
ls -l "$i"
done

while read line ; do
   ls -l "$file"
done < test
