I have a variable which stores a multiple values with a space between each file.

Now I need to seperate the each file and move the file to different path.

"echo concatinate_files" show the below value:
"/home/usr1/car_COM_20100409.txt /home/usr1/car_MOM_20100409.txt /home/usr1/car_REN_20100409.txt /home/usr1/car_SOM_20100409.txt"

If you see the above value it has 4 different files. Using the below command I am seperating each file like ..

export ind_file=`echo $concatinate_files |cut -f1 -d ' ' `--this gives me each file one by one Ist value I will get it as /home/usr1/car_COM_20100409.txt".

now my problem is how to seperate the only file name from the $ind_file.

Also I need a for loop to loop through the process based on number of files in $concatinate_files.

Thanks
