While read loop and rsh
Hi all

I have a while read loop that I use to process a file line by line. The reason I am using this is due the fact that I have spaces in the line and a for loop treats the space as a delimeter for the next record.
In this while loop I have a rsh. It appears that cos of the rsh, I never get to the next record in the file as when I comment this out it reads all the records in infile.

while read LINE
do
rsh host "cat $LINE |cut -f 1 -d \" \""
done < infile

Any ideas ?

Thank you

J
