Im trying to understand how to do something I'm working on at work
I'm trying to read a users name from input store it in name, then enter a while loop as long as name is not equal to x, then if name is equal to name do nothing, but if name is != name do something, exit if statement, check name variable if not x continue looping, if x end program. Does that make sense?

so now code is
When I view the output it keeps asking for a name, and is ignoring the x if name is x, and looks like it is infinite looping. Why?

within a shell command file to read from your terminal. The line command always writes at least a newline character.

EXAMPLES
To read a line from the keyboard and append it to a file, enter: echo 'Enter comments for the log:' echo ': c' line >>log
This shell procedure displays the message: Enter comments for the log:
It then reads a line of text from the keyboard and adds it to the end of the file log. The echo ': c' command displays a : (colon)
prompt. See the echo command for information about the c escape sequence.
