Shell Script Question 1

[barryp]

Please help a newbie !

I have a shell script which takes 2 parameters
I now need to run this script usiong a control file
e.g.

Control File contains
param1.1 param1.2
param2.1 param2.2
param3.1 param3.2

The shell script would be run 3 times
How can I set up a loop to achieve this?
I have tried

for i in `cat controlfile` but that gives 6 loops

and

while read i j < controlfile but that reopens controlfile each iteration-so loops endlessly

I could structure the controlfile like
param1.1/param1.2
but then how do I split one variable into 2 at the / ??

Ideas vey welcome


what I need is

Found my own solution

I can 'cat' into the while
So

cat controlfile | while read param1 param2
do

myscript $param1 $param2

done
