Read file using while loop not reading last line
I have written a script to read the file line by line.
It is reading and printing the lines.
But it is coming out of loop before reading last line.
So I am not able to print last line.
How do I solve it.
Quote:
while read line
do
let line_count="line_count + 1"
echo "line count $line_count : $line"
done < abc.txt

I am using the while-loop to read a file.
The file has lines with null-terminated strings (words, actually.)
What I have by that reading - just a first word up to '\0'!
I need to have whole string up to 'new line' - (LF, 10#10, 16#A)
