Thanks guys, I will look into 'field splitting' concept and figure out the IFS command.

--- Post updated at 10:49 AM ---

Here is what works for me:

Code:
printf '%s\n' "$INPUT" |
  while IFS= read -r line; do printf '%s\n' "$line"; done

Thanks again.

NAME
addrdsfig - adds a figure ORIGIN
This software belongs to the ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in Paris, France. Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/ E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr SYNOPSYS
#include"rdsnnn.h" rdsfig_list *addrdsfig( Name, Size ) char *Name; unsigned int Size; PARAMETER
Name Name of the figure to add to the figures's list. Size Size of the user structure (if defined) added to the rdsrec_list structure. DESCRIPTION
The addrdsfig function adds a new figure called 'Name' to the head of figures's list and becomes itself the list head (HEAD_RDSFIG pointer). The field NAME of the figure is set to 'Name'. The field SIZE of the figure is set to 'Size'. The field MODE of the figure is set to 'A'. Note : Name allocation is done with the namealloc() MBK function. If user structure isn't defined, the user has to set parameter 'Size' to 0L. RETURN VALUE
Pointer to the newly created figure.It's also the HEAD_RDSFIG pointer. ERRORS
"Rds202: rdsalloc error, can't continue !" it's impossible to allocate the memory size desired EXAMPLE
#include "mutnnn.h" #include "rdsnnn.h" #include "rtlnnn.h" typedef struct UserStruct { char *STRING; void *USER1; } UserStruct; main() { rdsfig_list *RdsFigure; mbkenv(); rdsenv(); loadrdsparam(); RdsFigure = addrdsfig ("core",sizeof ( UserStruct ) ); printf("FIGURE NAME = %s ",RdsFigure->NAME); /* The new figure is head of figure list */ printf("HEAD_RDSFIG : FIGURE NAME = %s ",HEAD_RDSFIG->NAME); } SEE ALSO

This tool is under development at the ASIM department of the LIP6 laboratory. We need your feedback to improve documentation and tools. ASIM
