Hey there,

How do you mean? Do you just want to read a file into a program or have the program read a file? Or something else.

 Help with Code Tags 
 Shell Scripting Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
while read x
do
   echo $x
done <input.thanks
while read x
do
   echo $x
done <input.thanks

If you could clarify, that would be cool.

Thanks,

Mike

You can do this pretty simply with awk. Check these boards for a fairly recent post on (I think the title is roughly) "even and odd" columns. You should find about 6 different ways to do it there, some of which I submitted.

I think you should be all set after that
