Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting put the contents of this file into a variable with multiple lines Post 302188182 by era on Wednesday 23rd of April 2008 12:39:53 AM

If you examine the variable with set or env, do you see the line breaks?

If not, try adding double quotes to the assignment, too:

Code:
VAR_LIST="`cat "$2"`"

(The double quotes around $2 are for good form, but not really essential to this discussion.)
