Hi, I am doing some records processing in a text file. I would like to know how can I read the lines repeatedly until the EOF character is reach?

Hi:
I'm assuming you want to do it in a unix shell. a ksh method:
while txtline=$(line) do echo $txtline done data.file # thers a less than sign (for input) between 'done' and 'data.file'. This forum wipes that key out.
Regards,
Nails
