'for' will loop over items based on IFS, which is whitespace by default.
Since you actually appear to want to process the file by line rather than just by field, it's probably easiest to just use a while/read loop. Something like:

Hi,
I've been trying to use grep to find out all the files which have two particular patterns in it (both pattern1 AND pattern2). I have a script to do the same, in which I'm getting the output of the first grep (with -l option) which contains the list of file paths and I'm trying to search for... (3 Replies)

How do I loop thru space separated values in a variable?
I hate to use very complicated counter increment logic for this kind of simple problem.
Expected result(using ksh)
$>echo "aaa bbbb cccc" | <looping code here>
var=aaa
var=bbbb
var=cccc
$>echo "aaa bbbb cccc" | while IFS=" "... (12 Replies)
I want to pass this array as a parameter.
IFS=$'\n'
fortune_lines=($(fortune | fold -w 30 ))
Inside of this line
screen -p 0 -S ${SCREEN_SESSION} -X stuff "`printf "say ${fortune_lines}\r"`"
And I am lost at this point.
I am thinking something like this?
Then make it loop..

Hi
I have been racking my (limited) brains to get this to work without success

Hi All,
I have created one function for KSH and was running well with one parameter input since I just had to use $1 to get the parameter.

foreach
foreach(1T) Tcl Built-In Commands foreach(1T)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
foreach - Iterate over all elements in one or more lists
SYNOPSIS
foreach varname list body
foreach varlist1 list1 ?varlist2 list2 ...? body
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
The foreach command implements a loop where the loop variable(s) take on values from one or more lists. In the simplest case there is one
loop variable, varname, and one list, list, that is a list of values to assign to varname. The body argument is a Tcl script. For each
element of list (in order from first to last), foreach assigns the contents of the element to varname as if the lindex command had been
used to extract the element, then calls the Tcl interpreter to execute body.
In the general case there can be more than one value list (e.g., list1 and list2), and each value list can be associated with a list of
loop variables (e.g., varlist1 and varlist2). During each iteration of the loop the variables of each varlist are assigned consecutive
values from the corresponding list. Values in each list are used in order from first to last, and each value is used exactly once. The
total number of loop iterations is large enough to use up all the values from all the value lists. If a value list does not contain enough
elements for each of its loop variables in each iteration, empty values are used for the missing elements.
The break and continue statements may be invoked inside body, with the same effect as in the for command. Foreach returns an empty string.
EXAMPLES
The following loop uses i and j as loop variables to iterate over pairs of elements of a single list. set x {} foreach {i j} {a b c d e f}
{
lappend x $j $i } # The value of x is "b a d c f e" # There are 3 iterations of the loop.
The next loop uses i and j to iterate over two lists in parallel. set x {} foreach i {a b c} j {d e f g} {
lappend x $i $j } # The value of x is "a d b e c f {} g" # There are 4 iterations of the loop.
The two forms are combined in the following example. set x {} foreach i {a b c} {j k} {d e f g} {
lappend x $i $j $k } # The value of x is "a d e b f g c {} {}" # There are 3 iterations of the loop.
