pls don't tell me how I could do this with perl; there's a req for sh.
Have got a bunch of small multi line files that I thought I was reading in ok:
/usr/local/apache/htdocs/rpts/rvd
The first word of ea file is the only thing that makes it in.
Cheers...

pushcontent()
{
SECTIONID=4
THETITLE=$1
THECONTENT=$2
THECOUNTER=1
mysql -u root -D nuke <<EOF
INSERT INTO seccont(artid,secid,title,content,counter)
VALUES
('max(artid)','$SECTIONID','$THETITLE','$THECONTENT','$THECOUNTER');
EOF
}
x=`ls /usr/local/apache/htdocs/rpts/rvd`
for a in $x
do
y=`cat /usr/local/apache/htdocs/rpts/rvd/$a`
pushcontent $a $y
done
