Hi all.
Many responses in a short time. :-)
Thanks to:
Jean-Pol.Guillement_at_math.univ-nantes.fr (Jean-Pol Guillement)
"Gavin Kreuiter" <gavin_at_transactive.usko.com>
"Rost, Werner" <Werner.Rost_at_boge.mannesmann.de>
"Frank-Peter Reich" <frank-peter.reich_at_nowis.de>
The first three respondants gave a working solution:
cat file.cfg | wnile read i
do
...
done
Frank sugested PERL solution:
#!/usr/bin/perl
_at_file_array = <file.cfg>; # Read in the complete File
foreach (_at_file_array) { # Complete line is in the implizit
variable $_
my ($item, $value) = split(); # Split $_ in the other variables
... # Do anything with the variables
}
Thank you all. I have already found an awk workaround for my problem,
but I'll keep this in mind in the future. Heck, I might even switch back
to ZSh builtins. Or switch forward, to Perl :-)
Nix.
