I want to use the list of files and process it (e.g. ls).
What is the command to do that?
I tried the following commands but to no avail.
$ cat test.txt
test.txt
$ cat test.txt | xargs ls

You will also run into problems with xargs and filenames with spaces
in. In my experience, the simplest thing that works reliably with
xargs and all Windoz filenames is xargs -0, so what you want is

I store a list of files in a text file (test.txt) on Windows XP.
I want to use the list of files and process it (e.g. ls).
What is the command to do that?
I tried the following commands but to no avail.
$ cat test.txt
test.txt
$ cat test.txt | xargs ls
: No such file or directory
$ cat test.txt
