Hi, Consider the following example: while read line; do echo ${line}; done < somefile read will interpret the backslashes as escapes and remove them from the input. Now I could do sed s/'\\'/'\\\\'/ somefile | while read line; do echo ${line}; done , but this will create a subshell which is not what I want (need to set some global variables in the while loop). Is there a way that I could pipe the output from sed (or any command) into the while loop without creating a subshell (ie as in the first example)?
