[Solved] Reading the last word in a file from a script
Hello everybody,

My first time here and my english is not very good I hope you understand me.

I'm trying to read a file that contains two zip archive names.
Here my file content is:
package1.zip package2.zip

At the end of the line there is a \n character.

I read this file from a script shell with a while loop, the reading code is:
Code:
while read -r Package_App Package_Cat
do
echo "$Package_App"
echo "$Package_Cat-----"
done < $FIC_PARAM

The result does not correct because in Package_Cat variable I have the '\n' character too! So, later in my script I can't use the $Package_Cat for finding the archive .zip.

Anyone knows how Can I have only 'package2.zip' in my Package_Cat variable without the \n character?

Thanks so much!!!

The $FIC_PARAM file you read is of what origin? DOS?
If DOS (WIN...) then convert the files with dos2ux or dos2unix command before...
