But that is wrong... it will read the first line from file line over and over
again, it seems. The correct syntax would be:
while read fn; do
sed 's/ / /g' < $fn > /tmp/notabfile
mv /tmp/notabfile $fn
done </tmp/tabs.auto.filelist.txt
/me blushes.
I admit that having to have the redirection of input to the while loop at the
end, after the "done", does make it harder to read, especially if the loop is
long. In this case the loop is not long, but still... so yeah, using "cat" here
to pipe the file into the while loop is clearer, even if it introduces an extra
process and pipe.
