the option -p only accept one parameter
pixar -p 8b 8c 8d

cd /dir/log
>log (* will zero out log but keep the file *)
touch log (* same as above *)
rm log (* deletes *)

[Jairo Campana]

Hi:

If I understand correctly, you want to delete lines with leading whitespace (tabs and/or spaces). One way is:

# perl -ne 'print unless m{^\s+}' file

read $B

This should be: read B

for i in $B
pixar -p $B >log

Did you want to do pixar for every value you read in B?

for i in $B; do
pixar -p $i >log"
done

Another solution to delete lines with leading spaces/tabs:
$ grep -v "^[ ]" log

Where the [] contains a space then a tab.
Or you can do the following for all whitespace:
$ grep -v "^[[:space:]]" log

echo $B is : 8b 8c 8d

but command pixar only accept one value

the correct command is
pixar -p 8b
.....
....

pixar -p 8b 8c d
invalid command

I need in B input value 8b 8c 8d
and the command pixar -p execute one value only

I cant send 8b 8c 8d to a file

so:
for i in `cat B.input`
do
...
pixar -p $i

I no want to create files

understant?

Hi,

read Dennis' solution again to see, that there is no need for a temporary file:
B='8a 8b 8c'
for i in $B
do print val=$i
done

results in an output of
val=8a
val=8b
val=8c
