Of course, the ls way cannot deal with spaces. So lets do this:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

trashdir=./trash
PS3='Enter your choice: '
quitstr=exit
[ "$(echo $trashdir/*)" = "${trashdir}/*" ] && echo "No trash" && exit
select fname in $trashdir/* $quitstr ; do
        [ "${fname}" = "${quitstr}" ] || [ "${fname}x" = "x" ] && break
        mv "${fname}" . || echo "Error moving file $fname to `pwd`"
        break
done

Output:

Code:
$ ls -ltr trash
total 0
-rw-r-----   1 sdass    informix       0 Jan  7 04:23 file with spaces
-rw-r-----   1 sdass    informix       0 Jan  7 04:23 c
-rw-r-----   1 sdass    informix       0 Jan  7 04:23 b
-rw-r-----   1 sdass    informix       0 Jan  7 04:23 a

$ clean.sh
1) ./trash/a
2) ./trash/b
3) ./trash/c
4) ./trash/file with spaces
5) exit
Enter your choice: 4
$ ls -ltr "file with spaces"
-rw-r-----   1 sdass    informix       0 Jan  7 04:23 file with spaces

$ rm -fr trash/*
$ ls -ltr trash
total 0
$ clean.sh
No trash
