Getting one line at a time from a text file

[cybercop23]

Hi everyone.
I have a text file of item numbers. I need to pull one line at a time and pass that to my shell script to process it. How can I pull first line, then 2nd, then third, until EOF?
I need to only get one line at a time and then move to the following line.

Sample file:
004124012725
004124012756
004124012856

Thanks for your help.

while read f
do echo "item#=$f"
done < /path/to/file

Hope This Helps, PH.
