Full Discussion: Replace values in script reading line by line using sed
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Replace values in script reading line by line using sed Post 302918873 by crimsonengineer on Friday 26th of September 2014 01:09:47 AM
Old 09-26-2014
So my output would be a script containing the values in the text file:

Quote:
for pa in 14.5
blah blah
do
for pb in 16.7
blah blah
do
I would like my script to repeat for each row in the text file. I think this can be accomplished with sed or awk, but unsure how to piece together the proper commands. Thanks so much.
