Question

This is my very basic script:

  temp=hello 
  while read line;
  do
     echo ${line}
  done

However, ${line} will itself consist of “value of temp = ${temp}”

I want my script to echo “value of temp is hello”. I’ve tried doing many things, even

echo `echo ${line}`

but each time it always just prints “value of temp is ${temp}”

I hope this question is clear. THanks!

Answer 1

What about this?

temp=hello 
while read line; do
    echo "Value of temp = `eval echo ${line}`"
done

Then in the console just type:

${temp}
