  • How to make xargs handle spaces and special chars from cat?

I would like to create files from the following list.



There is no problem if the list doesn't have a space ... but the problem is it has a space



user@linux:~$ cat file.txt 
Apples
Bing Cherry
Crab Apples
Dragon Fruit
user@linux:~$


Before



ser@pc:~$ ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 44 Jun 9 14:06 file.txt
user@linux:~$


xargs touch



user@linux:~$ cat file.txt | xargs touch 
user@linux:~$


Instead of creating Apples, Bing Cherry, Crab Apples, Dragon Fruit, the command producing these output.



After



user@linux:~$ ls -l
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Jun 9 14:11 Apples
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Jun 9 14:11 Bing
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Jun 9 14:11 Cherry
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Jun 9 14:11 Crab
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Jun 9 14:11 Dragon
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 44 Jun 9 14:06 file.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 0 Jun 9 14:11 Fruit
user@linux:~$


What should I do to handle space in this situation?
