I have a file for which I have written some csh scripts to do searching using grep and awk. I also have the following problem:- The user types in the following, for e.g.: 'show ARN COST R-1' which vaguely means show all the requirement numbers which are related to COST R-1. From this I get back a list saying; MUX R-10 COST R-3 REL R-32 . . What I then want to say is; show me the text associated with each of the requirement numbers in the list. So what I did first of all was to pipe this output to a script so that it would read each requirment in turn and produce what I wanted. Now I've got a script which will return what I need if I give it each item in the list singly BUT I can't make it loop and read all the things in the list and this is what I want to know. HOW do I do this? from, Dave Riches PSS: dsr@stl.stc.co.uk ARPA: dsr%stl.stc.co.uk@earn-relay.ac.uk Smail: Software Design Centre, STC Technology Ltd., London Road, Harlow, Essex. CM17 9NA.
