While names do normally include spaces, and one might then assume that the list I'm using therefore contains spaces as well, there are no such spaces included in the files Moses and I create. The files actually contain more than just your names, and are in fact fed into punish.sh in CSV format, which also inserts your crimes, estimated date and cause of death, and any notes we've made into the appropriate databases before appropriating your punishment. About three hundred years ago, when we were just getting into computers up here, Pope Marcellus II got us locked into a contract with a company which didn't code their stuff to be space-compliant. We still have a little bit of their crap around for some of the legacy employees because it's just a huge headache to try to get worked out at this point. And after so many years of using underscores you pretty much just get used to it. I suppose I could use a while loop, though. In the end I guess that's just the sort of thing that makes me the Son of God and you not. You make a good point, H3g3m0n, but that’s not to say that you’re entirely correct.

A while read loop doesn't have this problem: cat damned_to_hell | while read NAME >do >punish.sh -s "$NAME" -p damnation -a 1 >done Also note the quotes around the variable to stop it from being treated as seperate command line arguments.

A while read loop doesn’t have this problem:
cat damned_to_hell | while read NAME
>do
>punish.sh -s “$NAME” -p damnation -a 1
>done
