That is a useless use of cat.

That aside, read is eating your backslashes here. By default it tries to interpret them. Use read -r to avoid that problem:

Code:
while read -r CMD
do
        echo ldapdelete -h $OIDHOST \"$CMD\"
done < inputfile

TRACE-CMD-STACK(1)														TRACE-CMD-STACK(1)

NAME
trace-cmd-stack - read, enable or disable Ftrace Linux kernel stack tracing. SYNOPSIS
trace-cmd stack DESCRIPTION
The trace-cmd(1) stack enables the Ftrace stack tracer within the kernel. The stack tracer enables the function tracer and at each function call within the kernel, the stack is checked. When a new maximum usage stack is discovered, it is recorded. When no option is used, the current stack is displayed. To enable the stack tracer, use the option --start, and to disable the stack tracer, use the option --stop. The output will be the maximum stack found since the start was enabled. Use --reset to reset the stack counter to zero. SEE ALSO
trace-cmd(1), trace-cmd-record(1), trace-cmd-report(1), trace-cmd-start(1), trace-cmd-extract(1), trace-cmd-reset(1), trace-cmd-split(1), trace-cmd-list(1), trace-cmd-listen(1) AUTHOR
