Linux Passing variable as a file-Scripting Help
Hi Guys,

i have a file where data is in the below format::

Code:
data1 data2
data3 data4
data4 data6

my script written as::

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
cd $1
at now <<END

sh $2
END

Here i want to pass the values stored in the above file one by one till the end of line.

Here if i am doing it as::

Code:
sh script.sh `cat filename`

In the above case it is only taking first line of the file and then exits.So how can i pass all the values on the file sequentially till end of the file?

Appreciate your help!!

Thanks

Code:
while read A B
do
       cd $A
       at now <<END
sh $B
EOF
done < inputfile
