I have a file that contains the following entries...
*********
********
****eee**
the script contains..
cat $FILEIN | while read
do
echo ${REPLY}
fi
the result of this is that output reflects the directory contents ..ie it evaluates "*". Does anyone know what the method of displaying "*" is
thks in advance.
Eric

echo ${REPLY}
You can of course cat $FILEIN directly to stdout so you don't get any interpretation:
$ cat $FILEIN
