Help.

I want to create a generic script to pull complete file lists from client backups.

This is easy to do with the bpflist command for Unix clients because the files are never fragmented - that is they don't have spaces in the file path. This means that awk can be used to pull out the file list.

However, Windows has spaces all over the place in the file listing. Therefore awk would be a knightmare to use.

Anyone either know the right syntax in bpflist to do this (there are a lot of options, you would have thought one of them might do it!!) or give a hint to how to deal with these Windows file paths!!

Thanks in advnace.
