Ok, one more stupid question.
My plan here is to display some stuff before the parsing begins, then loop through the first line, echo all the contents (with more formatting yet to come), then once I hit the new line, go back to the beginning of the first loop and start again. As of right now, however, my output looks like this:
I have a lot of blank fields in the file, so the big space is expected. My issue is the fact that it doesn't currently seem to loop back around for the second line. Is this where awk would need to come in? Every line has the same number of "elements" separate by commas, which is the amount of variables I am catching, but is there something special I need to do for it to jump to the next line? The final file will have >100 lines in it, but I am testing with a file with just 2 lines before I go that far.
Why do you have a while loop inside your while loop, though? The 'while read' loop will eat all your lines. By the time the second loop happens, they will be all gone.
If you want to read the same file repeatedly, redirect your file into the inner loop, not the outer one.
