Hi All,
I need to browse some URLs in browser. Here I am having 600+ URLs to
browse. I have written a shell script to do this but the script is not
working properly. Here is my script.

#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ]
then
printf "Provide input text file to process the URLs\n"
exit 0
fi
{
for i in `cat $1`
do
echo "`xdg-open $i`"
done
}
exit 0

Here i am using xdg-open because it will open user set default
browser.
How can i open each URL one by one on same window? or tab. instead of
killing the browser and relaunching it. Even though it is fine like
browsing one url and kill that browser and relaunch it and browse next
url. is there any other commands which will do this magic?
Thanks in advance.

Not knowing more about what you plan to do, maybe lynx could help?
That's a text only browser. and it uses a command file which you could
probably tinker with.

a for loop is OK with a small number of elements, but when the data set
is large, a while read loop is better.


while read; do
xdg-open "$REPLY"
done <$1

I don't think you can from a shell script.

John,
Here "$REPLY" means what?

I need to do in a browser. But lynx is an command line browser. So
that's why i am using xdg tool to do.
