Many thanks. That's made the code simpler for starters.
It's also sorted out the problems of the linebreaks in the second bit; but the lack of tabs and linebreaks in the awk command is still there.

Why is that second echo there? Why is $LIST unquoted?

Can you also explain the significance of askerisks in the text file being turned into a directory listing?
An unquoted asterisk is expanded to all files in the current directory.
