[plug] function error

[Jon Miller]

Answer to third item - Not a lot, I've been having a read through the advance bash scripting.  I've done programming in some C (about a few eons ago), but I usually steer clear of this as I do not have the time to get to involved.  But there are times when I need to knock out a quick script.

So I thought if I can get the command to read in a line do the commands and when finished read I the next and perform the same commands until it reaches the end of the file.

First of all to use a variable outside of the function it must be globally defined.
Second do the processing within the loop
Thirdly, have you done any bash scripting before ??
