redirection problem
Hello Experts,


I am facing the following problem ..

Code:
>cat my_file

prints

initial begin
StartSim;
LDR(on); // Lock Detect Enable

But when I trying the same with the following command it shows me all the line in the same line.Like

Code:
>echo `cat my_file`

initial begin StartSim; LDR(on); // Lock Detect Enable

Is there any way around to print it as in my input file .. to the output file.
Thanks in advance..

echo "`cat cattest`\n" wil honor the new line.

What exactly are you trying to achieve with this code? Your code makes no sense.

Thanks for the Reply..

I want to do some thing like this

Code:
#! /bin/sh

for temp in `find ./CSV/ -name  "*.file"` 
do
   fname=`basename $temp`

   echo "Line 1 " >  ./out/$fname
   echo "Line 2 " >>  ./out/$fname
   ........
   echo "Line 100"  >>  ./out/$fname
   
   ./transform.sh $temp  >>  ./out/$fname
done

But instead of echoing each line I need I put those lines to a file and calling it by cat command
like echo `cat morelines`

Thanks in advance .
If any other method to do it better most appriciated..
