hii Palse,
sorry the variable values are not updating , let me post the code which i have written ( as u said)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
count=0
 i=0

 while read line
 do
   i=`expr "$i" + 1`
   count=`expr "$count" + "$i"`
   done < input.txt
echo " i value = $i";
echo " count value = $count";

and output is :
-bash-3.00$ sh readLine.sh
i value = 0
count value = 0

What do u say ?

NAME

       deal - bridge hand generator

SYNOPSIS

       deal [ -ltv ] [ -e expr ] [ -i condition file ] [ -I format ] [ -s seed ] [ -[NSEW] hand-spec ] [ count ]

DESCRIPTION

       deal is a program to generate bridge hands.

OPTIONS

       -l     Write deals in a "single-line" format.

       -t     Print distribution table and exit.  The distribution table is an ordered list of all possible hand patterns for a single hand.

       -v     Be verbose, print sample count.

       -e expr
	      Evaluate the Tcl expression expr.

       -i condition file
	      File that defines the hand type to generate or the output format.  (Can be given multiple times.)

       -I format
	      Read  hands from stdin.  Formats available are: ddline, giblib, line, pbn, smartstack.  You might deal, say, 10,000 hands which sat-
	      isfy specific criteria, saving them to a file.  Then you can use that output for input with deal -I to find out which hands  satisfy
	      other constraints.

       -s seed
	      Initialize random generator with seed.

       -[NSEW] hand-spec
	      Specifies  the cards held by the specified hand. The hand-spec should be of the form: "AK8532 - KQ72 A65". Voids must be represented
	      with a '-' character.  hand-spec should be one argument, so the string should be quoted on the command line.

       count  Number of hands to generate, default is 10.
