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
