Posted By: linuxtrek on October 18, 2009: In BASH, this is problematic when the line has text delimited by white space. Example: root@casc-tds-nas:~# cat /tmp/test first second third fourth root@casc-tds-nas:~# for i in $(cat /tmp/test); do echo "line: $i"; done line: first line: second line: third line: fourth
