Re: Taking input line by line from a config file in Bash

[Matthew_S]

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the quick reply.

With the 'while read line', it appears that I don't need to keep track of
the line numbers.  In fact this below does exactly what I need it to do;

cat $File |   # Supply input from a file
while read line   # As you suggested...

        do echo $line
        echo >> $RESULTS
        echo $line >> $RESULTS
        $line
        [ $? == 0 ] && echo "PASSED" >> $RESULTS || echo "FAILED" >>
$RESULTS
        done

exit

Thanks again.

Matthew.
