Hello,
I need to scan a directory for the file names contained in it.
for _scantox in $(ls $_tox); do
.
done
works just file with _scantox holding the file name, However some of the
file names are in the form of
342345\ remind\ for\ apt-get\ update
ie they have escaped spaces in the name.

Why use ls? Use the shell's globbing. IE, poor man's ls:
bash-2.05b$ echo *

If I expect to find files with spaces I always use some variant of this:
ls /somewhere | while read file; do
something $file
done
