Hi all,
i'm having some trouble using read to get a wrapped attrivute value of
an ldif file :
say this text as stdin :
uid: suzan
description: R&D leader,
doesn't know unix
but skilled in C programming
the problem is that "while { read line }" will crunch the space at the
begin of the line. I tried to find an appropriate flag in the doc. with
no success, so i finally use " for line ( ${(f)"$(cat)"} )" ...
but ... i would like to know ... is there way to use read ?
regards,
mc

Use
IFS= read line
If you really want raw input lines, you might want the -r flag to read
as well.
