Hello am24,

You haven't shown the expected output or your aim for writing the script(you have mentioned same thing of storing the Input_file's line into a variable which you told into very first post.). Putting a very wild guess like you wanted to print field 2 of each line, following may help you in same the.
Code:
awk '{print $2}'  Input_file

Output will be as follows.
Code:
500
501
502
503
504
505
506
507
508
509
510
511
512
513
514
515
516
517
518

Please get back to me in case any queries with complete details of your requirement with samples please.

Thanks,
R. Singh

NAME
incr - Increment the value of a variable SYNOPSIS
incr varName ?increment? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Increments the value stored in the variable whose name is varName. The value of the variable must be an integer. If increment is supplied then its value (which must be an integer) is added to the value of variable varName; otherwise 1 is added to varName. The new value is stored as a decimal string in variable varName and also returned as result. EXAMPLES
Add one to the contents of the variable x: incr x Add 42 to the contents of the variable x: incr x 42 Add the contents of the variable y to the contents of the variable x: incr x $y Add nothing at all to the variable x (often useful for checking whether an argument to a procedure is actually numeric and generating an error if it is not): incr x 0 SEE ALSO
