[geeks] ksh for loop question

[Brian Hechinger]

ok, i have a list of files that unfortunately have spaces in them.  i'd like
to get this list of files from a server using wget, so i was looking to just
use a for loop to go and get them all, for example:

for files in `cat file_list.txt`; do
  wget "http://www.server.com/$files"
done

this of course fails misserably since for splits by whitespace.  how do i do
something like this, but split by line not by whitespace?  and please don't
say perl.

thanks!

Whoops, nevermind...  the compile just imploded, crashing the xterm it was
running in as well...  Thanks, Richard...              -- George Adkins --
