Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting getting error 0403-016 Cannot find or open the file while reading a long line Post 73771 by zazzybob on Saturday 4th of June 2005 06:53:20 AM

The whole UUOC is throwing things out of whack....

while read whatever; do
# whatever
done < filename

Depending on your shell, you may well encounter limits with a line that long anyway....

On a modern shell like bash (on Linux), this copes quite well
Code:
$ for i in `seq 1 7000`
>   echo -n "a" >> longline
> done
$ echo "" >> longline
$ wc -c longline
      7001   longline
$ while read line; do
>   echo ${line} 
> done < longline
aaaaaaaaa.....
.
....aaaaaaaa
$
