Hello,

i have a simple shell script problem. if i have a file name with a space in
the name the following script doesn't get the entire name. The for loop
conditional statement below stops for spaces or new lines... i would like it
to stop for just new lines. is there a way to do that with shell script. how
can i change the condition in the for loop to do that?

Thanks,
brian

for i in `/bin/cat ${INPUT}`; do
    echo "in loop"

    SIZE=`echo $i | /usr/bin/awk -F: '{ print $2 }'`

    echo "${FILE}
