But when I use "read" it outputs without any interaction (as read is supposed to wait for our input keys) and skips few lines as shown below:
Code:
# cat /tmp/passwd_sample |while read line
> do
> echo "${line}"
> echo "Press any key to continue ...."
> read any_key
> done
CARRJ12:qVSn4ja4mFA72,..:20021:125:JULIAN CARR:/home/everyone:/bin/bash
Press any key to continue ....
NIRMALA1:35ltVGpjHq.aM:20025:125:NIRMALA KESAVAN:/home/everyone:/bin/bash
Press any key to continue ....
STANH001:VTPzaDxM1f3ps:20024:125:OWEN STANHOPE:/home/everyone:/bin/bash
Press any key to continue ....

Take a variable such as ROW-D-01, compare it to what's in one line in the text file such as PROD/VM/ROW-D-01 and only input PROD/VM into a variable without the /ROW-D-01.
Is this possible? any help is appreciated. (2 Replies)

continue
continue(1T) Tcl Built-In Commands continue(1T)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
continue - Skip to the next iteration of a loop
SYNOPSIS
continue
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command such as for or foreach or while. It returns a TCL_CONTINUE code,
which causes a continue exception to occur. The exception causes the current script to be aborted out to the innermost containing loop
command, which then continues with the next iteration of the loop. Catch exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such as
the catch command and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies.
EXAMPLE
Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 10 except 5:
for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} {
if {$x == 5} {
continue
}
puts "x is $x"
}
SEE ALSO break(1T), for(1T), foreach(1T), return(1T), while(1T)KEYWORDS
