How to read filenames with space in between
Hi All,
I need to read filenames with space in between in a for loop
like
Integration of utility projects
Integration of hdf projects
I copied these files from a windows system and as you know windows filename has spaces in between them.
But while unix is reading the filename in a for loop it reads word by word and in the end it's futile because all the filenames has space in between.
This is the command I use to read the filenames
for i in `ls -l`
Is there a way to accomplish this. Please help me on this.

-V | --verbose
Program behaves more verbose by printing messages to stdout.
