Try this: #!/bin/sh test $# -ge 1 && cat $@ | exec $0 && exit 0 IFS=$'\n' while read data; do echo "$data" done exit 0 Resetting IFS is only necessary if you want to preserve whitespace in each line. Putting $data in quotes prevents any shell metacharacters from being expanded. -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company Sign in a New York drugstore: "We dispense with accuracy" _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
