Concatenating file names into string for a function

I’m trying to concatenate a bunch of files into a string so I can use them for a function. As a test script I’m trying to do this:

#!/bin/bash

for line in $(cat list.txt)
do
  x=" "
  A=$A$line$x
done

echo "$A"

mv "$A" ./stuff

JavaScript
​x
 
#!/bin/bash​for line in $(cat list.txt)do  x=" "  A=$A$line$xdone​echo "$A"​mv "$A" ./stuff​

but I’m getting the error:

 mv: cannot stat ‘x.dat y.dat z.dat ’: No such file or directory

JavaScript
 
 mv: cannot stat ‘x.dat y.dat z.dat ’: No such file or directory​

but they are most definitely there

can I get some advice please?

That should work with files that do not have space in their names.
