but it didn't work. I'm trying to avoid awk, sed, perl and such, and
only do this in bash.
Paul-
I think you are out of luck. I don't think BASH has any
comprehension of "lines".
You could get away with something using sed (one thing that I have done
quite a lot is have one script write another script using sed, awk, etc.
and then execute it).
A more powerful way is usually to use a "real" scripting language (ie
Python):
#!/usr/local/bin/python
fileobj=open("myfile")
lines=fileobj.readlines()
for i in lines:
print i
# or do something other than "print" the contents of the string variable i
