Entering parameter automatically
First of all thank you for your replies to my earlier difficulties.
Now I am facing another difficulty.
I have written following “for” loop.

For var in `find . -name “2008_reports*”`
Do
Gpg -symmetric ${var}
Done

When I use this loop it asks to enter pass phrase every time.
Is there any way out by which I can incorporate pass phrase in script itself?

Please guide me to do the same
Thank you
Anushree

if your gpg allow this try using the following
Code:
echo mypasshrase|gpg --encrypt --passphrase-fd 0.....

Hi Vidyadhar,
Thank you for the solution.
When i tried it i got following in return.

$ echo RIL2009-10 | gpg --encrypt --passphrase-fd 0.....
Reading passphrase from file descriptor 0
You did not specify a user ID. (you may use "-r")

Enter the user ID. End with an empty line:

where will I specify the file name to be encrypted?

Hi Pludi,
In a way its same question. But here I wanna use for loop.

IMO, it's the same question. Solve how to encrypt without user interaction. (and there are a lot of pointers in your other thread already) With that done the loop is only the icing on the cake.
