file1.html
file2.html
file3.html
At the end of my script I need to open the file in a bash script and execute
a mv command for each line.
I though about using awk
awk '{print $1;}' p - prints each line in the file
but i need to execute a command like
mv $1 $1.bak
any help (or alternative ways) of doing it would be helpful.
Cheers
Adam

1. bourne shell FOR loop - executing a command on each line in a file
I'm trying to execute a command for each line in a file. I'm trying to use
the for loop, but it won't work on multi-word items. I think awk might
work for my situation, but I've never used it before. Is there a way
I can get this for loop to work (perhaps by formatting the input file)?
-------------
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! -f shows ] ; then
echo "shows file not found"
exit 1
fi
for SHOW in `cat shows`
do
echo "Recording" $SHOW
# tvsched -n $SHOW -q
done
----------
shows file contains
----------
samurai jack
scrubs
joe millionaire
-----------
So I want to execute
tvsched -n "samurai jack" -q
tvsched -n "scrubs" -q
tvsched -n "joe millionaire" -q
Thanks for your help
