perhaps the issue was with variable names
try the following:
#!/bin/sh
astring="z"
while [ $astring != "quit" ]
do
read astring
if [ $astring = "z" ]
then
bstring="hello my name is Gsmith and I have 5 dollars"
echo $bstring
else
echo "Never again"
fi
done

excel::template::container::loop
Excel::Template::Container::Loop(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Excel::Template::Container::Loop(3pm)
NAME
Excel::Template::Container::Loop - Excel::Template::Container::Loop
PURPOSE
To provide looping
NODE NAME
LOOP
INHERITANCE
Excel::Template::Container
ATTRIBUTES
o NAME
This is the name of the loop. It's used to identify within the parameter set what variables to expose to the children nodes each
iteration.
CHILDREN
None
EFFECTS
None
DEPENDENCIES
None
USAGE
<loop name="LOOPY">
... Children here ...
</loop>
In the above example, the children nodes would have access to the LOOPY array of hashes as parameters. Each iteration through the array
would expose a different hash of parameters to the children.
These loops work just like HTML::Template's loops. (I promise I'll give more info here!)
There is one difference - I prefer using Perl-like scoping, so accessing of variables outside the LOOP scope from within is perfectly
acceptable. You can also hide outside variables with inner values, if you desire, just like Perl.
