In bash this works:

#!/bin/bash  

while read line  
do  
echo $line  
done < $1

I=E2=80=99ve tried:

#!/bin/rc  

while =
(line=3D`{read $1})  
{
echo $line =
 
}

Which produces the = first line of the file in an infinite loop. I=E2=80=99ve tried the -m = argument with no output.

It=E2=80=99s probably = simple, but just can=E2=80=99t seem to find the equivalent.

Mack
