Data (newbieee)help regarding for loop
Hi!!

This forum been very helpful in my earlier issues. I hope i'll get the resolution this time too.

My query (might seem very silly) is:

I am using following code snippet to find the lines matching to certain string.
....
....
var=`cat temp.txt`
echo $var
for line_read in `echo $var`
do
echo $line_read
done
....
....

"echo $var" returns:

1,aaa bbb ccc,100
2,ddd aaa d,100
3,qweqwe dgfhfg dfsadfa,100

now the conflict comes in obtaing valu in $line_read:
1,aaa
bbb
ccc,100
2,ddd
aaa
d,100
3,qweqwe
dgfhfg
dfsadfa,100

This means, in for loop, each line(including white spaces) is broken with every white space instead of '\n' (!!!!)

Please, help me with proper logic. Its urgent...

thnx,

priyanka
