[Solved] for loop with internal unix command in statement throwing error
Hi

I've gotten a plugin script that won't run. I keeps throwing an error at the following line.

Code:
for BARCODE_LINE in `cat ${TSP_FILEPATH_BARCODE_TXT} | grep "^barcode"`
do
#something
done

The error reads

/results/analysis/output/Home/Auto_KNO-12-Cardiac-panel_27_045/plugin_out/trial_out/ion_plugin_trial_launch.sh: line 146: syntax error near unexpected token `do
'
/results/analysis/output/Home/Auto_KNO-12-Cardiac-panel_27_045/plugin_out/trial_out/ion_plugin_trial_launch.sh: line 146: ` do
'

How can I get this for loop to ignore the backtick? (I tried using a semi-colon at the end of the statement)

Thanks

MALAGA(1)						      Malaga quick reference							 MALAGA(1)

NAME

       malaga - natural-language word and sentence analysis

SYNOPSIS

       malaga [-morphology|-syntax] [-quoted] [-input input] project-file

DESCRIPTION

       Malaga  is a development environment for natural-language grammars based on the Left-Associative Grammar formalism.  Malaga grammars can be
       used for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis.

       The program malaga is Malaga's user interface for analysing word forms and sentences, displaying the results and finding bugs in a grammar.

       malaga requires the name of a language-dependent project-file as a command-line argument.

       If no command line options are given, malaga starts in interactive mode, and you can enter commands.  If you are not sure about the name of
       a command, use the command help to get an overview of all malaga commands.

       If you want to quit malaga, enter the command quit.

       See info Malaga for details.

OPTIONS

       -h[elp]
	      Print a help text about malaga's command line arguments and exit.

       -i[nput] input
	      Analyse a single word or sentence given as command line argument (only valid in morphology or syntax mode).

       -m[orphology]
	      Start malaga in morphology mode.	In this mode word forms are read in from the standard input stream and analysed (one word form per
	      line). The analysis result are written to the standard output stream.

       -q[uoted]
	      The input lines to be analysed are quoted (only valid in morphology or syntax mode).

       -s[yntax]
	      Start malaga in syntax mode.  In this mode sentences are read in from the standard input	stream	and  analysed  (one  sentence  per
	      line). The analysis result is written to the standard output stream.

       -v[ersion]
	      Print malaga's version number and exit.
