(This is probably a FAQ, and I'll take a pointer (or even the
magic words to identify the problem) instead of an answer.)
Let's suppose I have a file FILE, with contents:
foo
bar grill
baz
If I do "cat FILE", everything comes out fine.
If, however, I write a script:
#!/bin/sh
for i in `cat FILE`
do
.
.
.
.
done
$i is set to
foo
bar
grill
baz
Is there a way within the script - or, failing that, by
modifying FILE - to not break at the whitespace?
