Hi,

I need to read a input from a file with cut command or any and it has to display the cut portions from the file and ask the user to proceed.

ex: text1:text2:text3 in a file abc.txt
(it has to parse each variable and display to user to proceed)

say like
abc is : text1
def is :text2

shall i proceed ? y/n

Please help me in this!!

TIA
