Hi,

How to read .lst file line by line and while reading time it needs to copy the file into another file in unix shell script.

could you please help in this issue.

Thanks,

Welcome to the Forum.

Please post sample input and expected output.

Hi,

This is sample script.

#!/bin/bash
#SCRIPT:  method2.sh
#PURPOSE: Process a file line by line with redirected while-read loop.

FILENAME=test.txt
count=0

while read LINE
do
        let count++
        var=$LINE
        cp $Line C:\Users\25267\Desktop\ram\

      echo "$var"
      cp $var C:\\Users\\25267\\Desktop\\ram\\



done < $FILENAME

echo -e "\nTotal $count Lines read"

still not sure what exactly you need.!!!

where does $Line in your script comes from?

Assuming that the file content is a file name, something like this should be enough. I assume that destination folder is : /tmp

for file_name in `cat  test.txt`
do
cp $file /tmp
done

Your sample script is wrong on so many points i don't even know where to start:

#!/bin/bash
#SCRIPT:  method2.sh
#PURPOSE: Process a file line by line with redirected while-read loop.

FILENAME=test.txt
count=0

while read LINE
do
        let count++
        var=$LINE
        cp $Line C:\Users\25267\Desktop\ram\

      echo "$var"
      cp $var C:\\Users\\25267\\Desktop\\ram\\

done < $FILENAME

echo -e "\nTotal $count Lines read"

let count++

(( count++ ))

var=$LINE

x="abc def"
y=$x
echo $y

var="$LINE"

cp $Line C:\Users\25267\Desktop\ram\

cp file\* /some/where

cp $var C:\\Users\\25267\\Desktop\\ram\\
