My brain is fried. I know there is a simple answer to this but I'm drawing a blank. I want to run a script against the contents of a text file. The text file is just my users' first name, middle initial and last name like this: John A Smith Mary P James Sally R Jones Fred Q Davis What I want to do is for each user in this file, run a script. I tried to do this: for i in `cat textfile`; do myscript.sh $i done I expect this to run like this: myscript.sh John A Smith myscript.sh Mary P James myscript.sh Sally R Jones myscript.sh Fred Q Davis Instead it runs like this: myscript.sh John myscript.sh A myscript.sh Smith ... etc. How do I get this script to run correctly? Thanks! LW
