Shell scripting question

Comment:

Hi, my problem is as follows I have a file in the following format -------------starts here------------ /usr/bin/perl -w ./bomber tcsh /usr/bin/perl -w ./killer . .. .... ---------end here---------- Now what i have to do is take each line in the file (each line should be taken as a whole string) and pipe that string to pgrep. Any clues how this could be done? What i want is something like this pgrep -f $line where $line should store a line from the file. And i also need to loop for every line of the file.

It sounds like you want to run pgrep on each line of the file? I've never used pgrep, but a normal way to do something like this would be cat file | pgrep -f

You could try something like this: while read line do pgrep -f $line done < yourfile
