help with simple read script!
Hi y'all...I've been wracking my brain over this very simple script that reads in a textfile and echos each line. But I keep getting an error.
Below is my script:
#!/bin/bash
while read myline
do
echo $myline
done < t_file-20080221.01.asc
The error I am getting is:
syntax error near unexpected token `done'
Funny thing is if I just cut and paste the line directly into the command prompt, it works...HELP!
Cheers!
