I'm having a bit of trouble with one of the lines in my config file. 'ls -l | cut -d ' ' -f1' doesn't want to pass through the script. Here's the output; ls -l | cut -d ' ' -f1 ls: |: No such file or directory ls: cut: No such file or directory ls: ': No such file or directory ls: ': No such file or directory It seems to think I want to do an ls on the | etc. and isn't treating the line as a command as a whole like all the other commands are treated. I've tried placing it in '' "" & `` but none of those work. I'm not sure how to get this line through? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Taking-input-line-by-line-from-a-config-file-in-Bash-tp14575394p14690151.html Sent from the Gnu - Bash mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
