Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,
I had written the following script to find the list of files with *.ksh in a directory. and store it in a temp file.

I want to loop through the file temp and list the contents. I had used cat temp. But its giving Cat and temp as the output.

Do help me out.

Thanks


find . -name '*.ksh' -print > temp

for i in cat temp

do
echo 'valiue is ': $i
done

Code:

for i in `cat temp`

This is the output i am getting

$ ./list.ksh
valiue is : cat temp

Code:

while read i
do
echo 'value is ': $i
done < temp

or

Code:

for i in `cat temp`
do
echo 'value is ': $i
done

The first code is faster

Code:

>cat temp
a
b
c

Code:

for i in `cat list`
do
echo 'value is' : $i
done

value is : a
value is : b
value is : c

check the contents of temp file after find command is run

use backticks

Code:

for i in `cat temp`

Thanks anbu the while loop is working not the for loop.

Thanks all for the immediate reply.
