Quick Help...Shell script...
Hi All,
Pl help me to complete this shell script..
I have a file - TABLE.OUT
create table patient
(
med_rec_num char(20) not null ,
last_name char(25) not null ,
first_name char(15),
initial char(1),
...
If i say -
for i in `cat TABLE.OUT`
do
echo $i
done
It displays result as -
create
table
patient
(
...
I want variable i to hold one line at a time instead of one word.
e.g. i="create table patient"
I am expecting output like-
create table patient
(
med_rec_num char(20) not null ,
last_name char(25) not null ,
first_name char(15),
...
I want to process each line further in shell. (not in awk!)
Any trick?
Thanks
Prasad
