Question

I have to run the following command:

sudo trac-admin /var/www/trac/kpi wiki remove * 

* Doesn’t work, so I need change it with actual wiki names.

I have wiki names saved in a file, every name on new line.

I would like to feed contents of file as variable per single line to the original command trac-admin. How do I do this?

command that helped me delete all wikis in trac was:

for x in `cat trac.kpi.wiki2`; do sudo trac-admin /var/www/trac/kpi wiki remove $x; done

Thanks!

You can use backticks `:

tmp]$ cat a.txt
foo
bar
baz
tmp]$ for x in `cat a.txt`; do echo $x; done
foo
bar
baz
tmp]$
