To create a tar file, I used to create a list and to make tar -cvzf arch.tgz $list
However, if there are file names with a space, this space is interpreted as file name separator.
How can I fix this, either when I tar, or when I create the list?
Rename the files to exclude spaces.
Filenames with spaces are administrative headaches.
mothersRecipesForPancakes01.txt is understandable enough that spaces aren't necessary.
