I realized I didn't reply to your question, sorry.  No, not directly.
I am trying to consolidate some files spread across different paths to
one directory, so first doing:

	walk -f -eP | grep 'pattern' > /tmp/files_of_interest.txt

Then after reviewing and deleting further, I was going to do something like:

	clone `{cat /tmp/files_of_interest.txt} /path/

Are you thinking I'd do something like set the ifs manually?

	ifs='
'
	clone `{cat /tmp/files_of_interest.txt} /path
