I want to make a shell script to take input from a text file and process each line in turn.
ie
$myscript < textfile
then in the script it goes
for each $line in $textfile do
somethingbut i can't work out the syntax. $1 is the input stream isn't it? that's about as far as i got. .. :-(
well ok I have an iPod and i want to be able to copy mp3's off it, using a list of song names as input for a 'find ./ 'name' -exec cp {}' style command. it's not hard, but it's beyond me at this stage.
advice (or a URL for a good scripting tutorial :) gratefully received..
cheers, ..S.
