And Lo! The Great Prophet "Chris J" uttered these words of wisdom:

Bonus points if you spotted the deliberate mistake in this script. Er, 
change $i to $fname, or the read fname to read i :)

Does help when variable names match up ...

Oh also, spaces really ought to be translated into %20 in the link, summat
like:
	link=`echo $i | sed 's/ /%20/g'`
then remember to say $link in the href :)
