Copy files listed in a text file - whitespace problem.
Hi,
Say I have this text file <copy.out> that contains a list of files/directories to be copied out to a different location.
If I do the following:
All of the files managed to be copied except for the file with a whitespace.
I have tried using for loop, but the same thing happened.
I edited copy.out and replace "dir1/white space" with dir1/white\ space but it didn't work. Just by simply removing the double quotes failed to work either. I understand that by using echo, it will flatten any whitespace in $variable into a single space, so I've tried using double quotes $variable, but again, it failed to copy the file with a whitespace.
I don't like whitespace in files/dirs name, but some people seem to like it, so I'd like to know how to fix this problem.

bundle
BUNDLE(1) General Commands Manual BUNDLE(1)NAME
bundle - collect files for distribution
SYNOPSIS
bundle file ...
DESCRIPTION
Bundle writes on its standard output a shell script for rc(1) or a Bourne shell which, when executed, will recreate the original files.
Its main use is for distributing small numbers of text files by mail(1).
Although less refined than standard archives from ar(1) or tar(1), a bundle file is self-documenting and complete; little preparation is
required on the receiving machine.
EXAMPLES
bundle mkfile *.[ch] | mail kremvax!boris
Send a makefile to Boris together with related and files. Upon receiving the mail, Boris may save the file sans postmark, say in
gift/horse, then do
cd gift; rc horse; mk
SOURCE
/rc/bin/bundle
SEE ALSO ar(1), tar(1), mail(1)BUGS
Bundle will not create directories and is unsatisfactory for non-text files.
Beware of gift horses.
