Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Converting text file to html page Post 303001256 by Corona688 on Monday 31st of July 2017 01:16:29 PM

H F D are just variables, nothing special about them. I could have used almost any other alphanumeric name.

I wasn't quite sure if done <$FILE would work with three separate reads (one per line), so I redirected stdin itself to avoid needing any redirection later. With just one read, I know done <$FILE will work fine.

On thinking, it probably would have worked in the first version too. So, in the end, no real reason.
