Hi All,
In my bash script, I want to load a file into a
variable and keep the line feeds.
x=$(cat filename)
remove all the line feeds.
I want $x to be exactly the same as filename.
This is where I would be using this:
echo "$x" | mailx -s "$Subject" $Cmd $To
I get mailed one long run on line
How do I do get my line feeds back?
The simpler form is "x=$(<filename)", but that's not the problem. The
problem must be mailx. Try just the echo and see what happens.
I wound up doing this. If the $Body variable start
with "file:", then cat the file to mailx (removing
the "file:" first. Otherwise I echo the body:
When I tested it, echo wrote out the text exactly as it was in the
original file, so I don't know what's going on with yours. Are you
using bash?
