Unable to unpack files with bunzip2 using while loop
Hi,

I have a problem with unzipping some file.xml.bz2 files to file.xml using while loop.

all other processing on files is successfull except bunzip2.

here is my piece of code
Code:
while read i
do
bunzip2 $i
done<file.lst;


output
Code:
: No such file or directory.le file1.XML.ftpfail.bz2
: No such file or directory.le file2XML.ftpfail.bz2
: No such file or directory.le file3.XML.ftpfail.bz2
: No such file or directory.le file4.XML.ftpfail.bz2

file.lst contains the names of the file names.

" i " is detecting the file name correctly..

when i use bunzip2 filename as a single command it is working.. but in loop it is failing to detect the file and showing the error as above.

kindly suggest me with the what is the issue.

thank a lot in advance.

Put double quote and try

Code:
bunzip2 "$i"

How is your file.lst ?

Tried as you said, but results negative.

same error occurred.

file.lst contains only the filenames , line by line.

the files are in -rw-r--r--
file.lst is in 777 format.

set IFS and read line

Code:
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
while read i; do
          bunzip2 "$i"
done <"file.lst"

I got the same error.
Code:
: No such file or directory.le file1.XML.ftpfail.bz2
: No such file or directory.le file2.XML.ftpfail.bz2
: No such file or directory.le file3.XML.ftpfail.bz2
: No such file or directory.le file4.XML.ftpfail.bz2

file.lst contains
Code:
file1.XML.ftpfail.bz2
file2.XML.ftpfail.bz2
file3.XML.ftpfail.bz2
file4.XML.ftpfail.bz2
