How to get/print the lines from a specified file ? (LINUX)
It my first post here .

I just want to get the content of the file as values for printinting along with line number in LINUX

Here is what I tried .

Code:
[orcl10gdb@SVRDELLD37 scheme_opt]$ cat test1.txt
ABC
DSF
GHI
JKL
MNO
PQR
STU
VWX
YZO
[orcl10gdb@SVRDELLD37 scheme_opt]$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/ksh

while read mLine
do
  echo $mLine
done < test1.txt
[orcl10gdb@SVRDELLD37 scheme_opt]$ sh test.sh
: command not found
test.sh: line 6: syntax error near unexpected token `done'
'est.sh: line 6: `done < test1.txt
[orcl10gdb@SVRDELLD37 scheme_opt]$

I am stuck with the error "syntax error near unexpected token `done'"

I am expecting the result as .

Code:
1. ABC
2. DSF
3. GHI
4. JKL
5. MNO
6. PQR
7. STU
8. VWX
9. YZO

Any guide is appreciated.

Hi,
Your code works, maybe You've managed to insert some non printing character in there somewhere?
I copied Your code and pasted it in to a command prompt, and supplied a filename of my own and it works.

And if it is numbered lines You want? You can use
nl test1.txt
