Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Pass config file to bash script Post 303042735 by cmccabe on Sunday 5th of January 2020 08:53:47 AM

The first parameter starting the script is config, there are two possible choices depending on the data type so I am going to pass it as an argument. Thank you Smilie.

Code:
config=$1

set -- $config
echo -e "$@"

but this echos the path to config, I need each line in the config avaliable to the script to use. Do I need to source config? Thank you.

I think this will work:
Code:
config=$1

set -- $config
echo -e "$@"
while read line; do
  echo "$line" >script.sh
done <"$config"

I think now each line in config can be used in [/ICODE]script.sh[/ICODE].
