Jan 5, 2015 at 11:00 comment added iyrin This is pretty well explained here, although there are no examples for passing the output of each line as an argument for a script. stackoverflow.com/questions/10748703/…
Jan 5, 2015 at 10:58 comment added iyrin Ah good eye. Updated and explanation added. It is only working if I keep the echo command. To test, I am passing it to the_script which only contains echo $1. This does seem weird and redundant tho.

Jan 5, 2015 at 10:12 comment added PM 2Ring Are you sure? Try it on the OP data, and you'll see it still doesn't work right. Also, echo $(some_command) is weird.
Jan 5, 2015 at 10:05 comment added iyrin Hey thanks, PM 2Ring. It now passes each line as and argument to the script called. Although, Miroslav's solution is way easier imo.

Jan 5, 2015 at 9:26 comment added PM 2Ring This doesn't do what geokrowding wants. If you try your code using the data in the OP you'll see that it prints each number from the file on a separate line. In other words, each invocation of echo gets passed a single word of the file. BTW, $(cat planets) is preferred over the form using backticks, see mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/082 . Another reason not to use backticks is that it's not easy to display backticks in these comments. :)
