Some people say that you never know everything, how very true that is when you are scripting in Bash Shell. A week ago I found out something I needed to do a million times before, but had always re-invented the wheel to do so….
Bash – Parse a file FORWARDS (the easy one)
cat <file> | while read LINE ; do
echo $LINE
done
so now…
Bash – Parse a file BACKWARDS (cat backwards = tac)
tac <file> | while read LINE ; do
echo $LINE
done
Wasnt hard was it, but like any question, its only easy if you know the answer !! I have made a new post for this with a more practical example/tutorial HERE
