ok so I created the txt file and it is in this format and called it pdf-to-user.txt ( im sure the following is extremely wrong because it isnt doing anything ( i do mean wrong on my part for not fully understanding) . the files are all located in a directory called /home/linuxguy/pdf but it doesnt seem to be reading anything how do I specify this ?

001 = linuxguy
002 = user2
##########
the script is as follows :
domain = unix.com
mail = mutt -s "mail" -a $file $user@domain

while read file user; do
test -e "$file" || continue || $mail
# continue to use your imagination here.
# for example, start populating this with just
echo file $file, user $user"
# to see what's going on
done< pdf-to-user.txt
