How Can I simplify/perfect the following script, so that I read _ALL_ the
lines in the file and act on the content as shown below, so that I do not
have to specifiy an action per line?
This below is doing exactly what i need BUT reading one line at a time
untill the 10th line, if i want more i add manually...
This might help some1 someday! But if there is a way to perfect it please
do so.....
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
smsfile=email_to_sms
`grep Subject /var/spool/mail/sms >>$smsfile`
if [[ -s $smsfile ]] ; then
cat /dev/null > /var/spool/mail/sms
sed -i 's/Subject: //g' $smsfile
echo `sed -n '1p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==1
{print $1}' $smsfile`
echo `sed -n '2p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==2
{print $1}' $smsfile`
echo `sed -n '3p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==3
{print $1}' $smsfile`
echo `sed -n '4p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==4
{print $1}' $smsfile`
echo `sed -n '5p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==5
{print $1}' $smsfile`
echo `sed -n '6p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==6
{print $1}' $smsfile`
echo `sed -n '7p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==7
{print $1}' $smsfile`
echo `sed -n '8p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==8
{print $1}' $smsfile`
echo `sed -n '9p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==9
{print $1}' $smsfile`
echo `sed -n '10p' $smsfile` | /usr/bin/gammu --sendsms TEXT `awk 'NR==10
{print $1}' $smsfile`
else
echo "***********Sorry the SMS FILE "$smsfile" is empty.************"
fi
gammu-smsd start
cat email_to_sms >> email_to_sms2
cat /dev/null > email_to_sms

I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
