Hi All,

In my bash script, I want to load a file into a
variable and keep the line feeds.

    x=$(cat filename)

remove all the line feeds.

I want $x to be exactly the same as filename.

This is where I would be using this:
     echo "$x" | mailx -s "$Subject" $Cmd  $To

I get mailed one long run on line

How do I do get my line feeds back?

The simpler form is "x=$(<filename)", but that's not the problem. The problem must be mailx. Try just the echo and see what happens.
