Shell Programming and Scripting

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!!

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

Worked!!


Thank u everybody!!
Thank u vigsgb!!

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