List files with spaces in filename
I have a text file containing files in a directory structure i.e.

Code:
/project/hr/raw/jcpdatav/datav_aug03
/project/hr/raw/jcpdatav/comb8121sep02n
/project/hr/raw/jcpdatav/datav_feb04_ons
/project/hr/raw/jcpdatav/corpsick_jun06
/project/hr/raw/jcpdatav/jcpjoiners200507
/project/hr/raw/jcpdatav/corpsick_jul

Later in the text file some lines appear with spaces, how do I print out only these lines?

Sorry if it didnt make sense:

Code:
/its/live/permtas/GAPS_rep_source/sesact_funcs.4gl
/its/live/permtas/GAPS_rep_source/fpms.4gl
/its/live/permtas/GAPS_rep_source/april data.txt
/its/live/permtas/GAPS_rep_source/r2l_funcs.4gl

I'm interested in the filenames with spaces.
