The problem is in the listfile find generates. I need to find an app that will output properly escaped filenames, or fix the actual filenames. find's output to the list looks like this:
Code:
/01_Old Testament/39_Malachi/Malachi04.txt

I need it to look like this:
Code:
/01_Old\ Testament/39_Malachi/Malachi4.txt

Notice that the space between "Old" and "Testament" is not escaped, and so it breaks down. I was thinking the -d{n} flag might get it, (by skipping the directories altogether), then I realized cat probably needs the full path to find the files. I couldn't find a flag that would 'fix' the output of find, either.
I have to fix the list file, first.

set_color

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME

       set_color - set_color - set the terminal color

set_color - set the terminal color
   Synopsis
       set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]

   Description
       Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
       cyan, white and normal.

       o -b, --background Set the background color

       o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names

       o -h, --help Display help message and exit

       o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode

       o -u, --underline Set underlined mode

       o -v, --version Display version and exit

       Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.

       Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
       font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.

       Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.

       set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
       incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
       ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
