It seems I spoke too soon. I should have been more explicit. The echo $i was just an example, but not what I really wanted to do. Here's a better demonstration.
for i in `cat filelist`; do cat $i >> largefile; done The whitespace problem is now different. The offending line in $i is: tempfile #Only need for comparison The error is: cat: tempfile #Only need for comparison: No such file or directory So now I've lost the ability to have comments. :/ __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
