Simple redirect question?
 

Hi,
If I create a file called dir.txt in my home directory using the following redirect: ls -l > dir.txt
and then run the following portion of my bash script, things go as planned.

while read line
do
echo -e "Line = $line\n"
done < dir.txt

The following does NOT work:

while read line
do
echo -e "Line = $line\n"
done < `ls -l`

If I try to redirect the 'ls -l' directly into my bash script I get an "ambiguous redirect" error. Could someone tell me why and what is the solution to this redirect problem.
Thanks

A Pipe almost works, but no End Of File?

while read line
do
echo -e "Line = $line\n"
done | ls -l

Almost there....

this should correct

Got It - You were right! Thanks
 

Working fine.
Thanks
