Hi
I need some help with scripts. I'm using the following loop:
while read line
do
# manipulate file here
if [ "$test" = "true" ]
then
echo "Would you like to read more lines?" ; read
input
# process input here (continue or exit )
fi
done < "$filename"
The problem is that this reads ALL input from file.
How do I make this loop able to read from user as well?
The following does not work. Why?
exec &4<"$filename"
while read line
do
# ...
done <&4
