title: Read list of files and copy deleted files back
body: <p>I did a mercurial merge which deleted a few files which i need in the new branch so i generated a list of the deleted files and am now trying to build a shell script to copy the deleted files back but so far it is not working.The script is question is</p>
  
  <pre><code>cat deltedfiles | xargs -I {} bash -c 'cut -d" " -f1 "{}"|grep -Fq "R" &amp;&amp; echo {}'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can somebody tell me how do i correct this?
  I just get an error from cut saying that the file does not exist and the whole line which i understand to be is cut is treating it as a file.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  I created the list of files and saved it to a text file named deletdfiles using hg status.
  In the script i'll replace echo at the end with cp command this was just to test if i can atleast get it to echo.</p>
  
  <p>The deltedfiles looks likes this</p>
  
  <pre><code>cat deltedfiles
