- Subject: read -u how to
Hi folks
I have the problem that I like to use read -u to read from file.
The following script was stored under $HOME/bin/h
----------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
set -xv
ls -l $HOME/bin/h
3<$HOME/bin/h
while read -u 3
do
echo $REPLY
done
----------------------------------
The output of a run is
----------------------------------
ls -l $HOME/bin/h
3: ls -l /cygdrive/c/home/bin/h
-rwx------+ 1 F.Braunbeck Domänen-Benutzer 101 Oct 24 17:52 /cygdrive/c/home/bin/h
3<$HOME/bin/h
while read -u 3
do
echo $REPLY
done
6: read -u 3
/cygdrive/c/home/bin/h: line 6: read: 3: invalid file descriptor: Bad file descriptor
---------------------------------
How can I get it work so that no "Bad file descriptor" error comes out
IMPORTANT
I will read replies only from the mailing list.
If you send me email directly it will be deleted.
Regards
Franz
