UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Code:

while IFS=, read FOLDER_VAR PATH_VAR USER_VAR SERVER_VAR; do
  : stuff
done < $CSV_FILE

I have done IFS also before. The problem is when i use my logic as posted earlier then it reads the first row only and exit. I have used IFS reset IFS also and have used for loop also.

If i dont have any space in the file then everything works fine with no problem. It iterates the whole file and creates the appropriate folder in the appropriate server.

I get the desired output when not doing the logic but i do not get the desired result when i put my logic in that while loop or for loop.

A trace of sh -x yourscript with it reading only the first line would be useful.

as you can see i already suggested that..

I got it.

IFS='
'

Was the problem :--)
