Bash read output?

Question

I\'m running this at a terminal on Ubuntu 11.4.

Say I execute a bash script and the output is:

Test1: Some text...
Test2: Some text...
Test3: Some te         


        

Answer 1

So you want

output=$(command)
while read -r line; do
    process "$line"
done <<< "$output"

See "Here strings" in the Bash manual.

or process substitution

while read -r line; do
    process "$line"
done < <(command)
