mounting from list in files?

Hello!

I am writing a script that reads line by line from files, where each line is a device name that is then mounted.

Is there a way to read each line of the file using script and then check for end of file?

I could do it in C using file handling routines, but it's a fairly simple program that I'd like to keep as a script.

Thanks,
Murdock

Code:

exec 3< foobar.txt
while read -u 3 foo; do
echo Just had line $foo
done
