Hello,

In a ksh script, I used the followings:

INPUT_FILE="aa. \
bb. \
cc. \
dd. \
ee. \
ff. \
gg"

To get the record,

for j in $INPUT_FILE

But there are many records in INPUT_FILE and I'd like to make it a
seperate file and read it in the script. Can anyone tell me how to do
it please?

I was told to use somthing like this, "while read /user/INPUT_FILE
IN_FILE".

Thanks

Is this what you're looking for:

while read var
do
echo "$var"
done < file
