Hi, I would like to write a bash script like the following one: for i in `some program that outputs a word list` do echo $i done where the word list can be very very long. I wonder what is the upper bound limit of the length of word lists in "for" loop of a bash script, or does it only depend on the hardware (say, RAM)? Thank you in advance. -- Cheers, Wei http://www.acplex.com/people/wchen/
