Hi all,

I have been already struggling for a while with this (sorry pals) crap
bash scripting which I can not make any other sense than it was made
purposely non intuitive and totally confusing but anyway ...

Well, I find your Operating system a piece of crap.


Maybe these will help

I would like to read each line from an input file and display it.

The human mind tends to reduce everything to it's most complex form.

Here try this

_fn=$1
while read line
set -- $line
echo $1 $2
echo $line
done < $_fn
.
