Question for the bash gurus:
I am wondering why I get the following different output from two different
bash operations.
Lets say I have a file called t1.txt, and it contains the following line:
This is line1
This is line2
This is line3
If I give the bash command cat t1.txt, I get the following
This is line1
This is line2
This is line3
However, if I do:
for f in `cat t1.txt` ; do echo $f ; done
I get the following
This
is
line1
This
is
line2
This
is
line3
etc.
Any hints on combining the cat command with the for command, and have the
output look like:
This is line1
This is line2
This is line3
Thanks in advance for any assistance
Regards - Bob
