Multiple Inputs
Have tried the search, but nothing resembles what I'd like to accomplish. I am attempting to write a script that will allow the user to input a list of data at the command prompt, then the data is used by another script for processing. I am allowing the user a list of 10 members in order to process, but my current problem is that the user will have to hit <enter> however many times up to 10 if they have less than 10 members to include in the list. I'm guessing I need some conditional statement that tells the script to start processing the data if the user decides that they do not have 10 members. But I cannot seem to accomplish this.. Here's what I have below for that part of the script (as you can see, I am very new to this):
echo "Paste your member list to port."
read a
read b
read c
read d
read e
read f
read g
read g
read h
read i
read j
echo $a > list_file
echo $b >> list_file
echo $c >> list_file
echo $d >> list_file
echo $e >> list_file
echo $f >> list_file
echo $g >> list_file
echo $h >> list_file
echo $i >> list_file
echo $j >> list_file
cat list_file| xargs -i getx {}
rm list_file
echo "Porting List... Please Wait"
Any help is greatly appreciated..

tclsh(1) Tcl Applications tclsh(1)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
tclsh - Simple shell containing Tcl interpreter
SYNOPSIS
tclsh ?-encoding name? ?fileName arg arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tclsh is a shell-like application that reads Tcl commands from its standard input or from a file and evaluates them. If invoked with no
arguments then it runs interactively, reading Tcl commands from standard input and printing command results and error messages to standard
output. It runs until the exit command is invoked or until it reaches end-of-file on its standard input. If there exists a file .tclshrc
(or tclshrc.tcl on the Windows platforms) in the home directory of the user, interactive tclsh evaluates the file as a Tcl script just
before reading the first command from standard input.
SCRIPT FILES
If tclsh is invoked with arguments then the first few arguments specify the name of a script file, and, optionally, the encoding of the |
text data stored in that script file. Any additional arguments are made available to the script as variables (see below). Instead of
reading commands from standard input tclsh will read Tcl commands from the named file; tclsh will exit when it reaches the end of the
file. The end of the file may be marked either by the physical end of the medium, or by the character, "
