Why does my shell script choke on whitespace or other special characters?
4 answers
I am running into a bit of an issue / quirk here:
[root@s06p5bcsmta001 elves]# TEST=$(cat -e sendlog)
[root@s06p5bcsmta001 elves]# echo $TEST | wc -l
1
[root@s06p5bcsmta001 elves]# cat sendlog | wc -l
1050
[root@s06p5bcsmta001 elves]# TEST=$(cat sendlog)
[root@s06p5bcsmta001 elves]# echo $TEST | wc -l
1
[root@s06p5bcsmta001 elves]# echo -e $TEST | wc -l

How do I get the contents of the text file (with n) into the variable?
