analyze lines in a file by loop
Hi Dears,

I use the below code to analyze lines in a file:

Code:
for line in `cat ucsv`
do
        echo $line
        //analyze statements
done

however, if line contains space char, it will be broken. for example, if file content is:

Code:
#login,full name,email,project,role,action
gmwen,Bruce Wen,wengm@foxmail.com,bt,qa,add

echo statement above will print as following:
Code:
#login,full
name,email,project,role,action
gmwen,Bruce
Wen,wengm@foxmail.com,bt,qa,add

But the expectation is:

Code:
#login,full name,email,project,role,action 
gmwen,Bruce Wen,wengm@foxmail.com,bt,qa,add

How to fix the issue?

Sorry, but what I expected is to avoid the broken issue.
