I'm in a script using this command and my input file is a list of path-file names, like this:


folderA/folderB/fileA
folderA/folderC/folderD/fileB


And what I want is to get each line, or each fileName and do another process, considering it as a parameter.

Code:
while read line
do
   echo $line
   process2 $line

done < file1

im sorry I misunderstood, it looked like you were merely trying to insert a line inbetween each line of code...

No problem..
I think I didn't explain well...

As u can see I'm beginner...
;O)

By the way.. do u know why when I do the following command, it doesn't consider the last line of my file1? I have two lines, and it just consider the first one. I read some documentation about Unix doesn't consider the end of the file as a new line, but I didn't figure out how to have it working...


while read line
do
echo $line
process2 $line

done < file1


Thanks again!!

Hello!!

I'm trying to get each line of a file, using cut and new line "\n" inside a script, but everytime I do the command it returns everything, not limited by the new line.
Am I using a wrong format to new line? Is there another way to do it?

cut -d"\n" -f1 < myFile

Thanks in advance!!

Your command would return everything, just as if you used the cat command:
cat myfile.
I am not sure what you are trying to do, but there are several ways to read in just one line:

example:

for readline in `cat myfile`
do
#Perform operations on each line
echo $readline
done

This would let you walk through each line and deal with it as a whole line. Otherwise explore awk, sed the read command etc.

Hope this helps

Above will work only if file contains one word per line.
