To my knwoledge the following should work:
bash# ls | while read i
> do
> rpm -Uvh $i
> done
However, this gives me:
error: cannot open file bar.rpm
error: cannot open file foo.rpm
.... (for each file listed).
The same applies to a commonly server script
bash# ls *.htm | while read i
> do
> mv $i ${i%%.htm}.html
done
And the error output is the same
error: cannot open file index.htm
error: cannot open file this.htm
... (for each file listed).
Is this a bug or is my syntax wrong?
