Hi,

I have a list of files I want to move to another dir eg

FF03027E-23EA-11D5-9891-00508BEE0314.PDF
FF0308AF-23EA-11D5-9891-00508BEE0314.PDF
FF030BA1-23EA-11D5-9891-00508BEE0314.PDF

Im using xargs i.e.

cat badfiles.txt | xargs -i mv /completefiles/\{\} /badfiles\{\}

however xargs seems to be truncating the filenames

: No such file or directory7E-23EA-11D5-9891-00508BEE0314.PDF
: No such file or directoryAF-23EA-11D5-9891-00508BEE0314.PDF

Justin
