variables set to full lines.

[Jason Zapman II <zapman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've occasionally wanted to do something like this:

for line in `cat file` ; do
	echo $line >> file1
done

where $line is set to a string containing each line in the file, rather
than each word.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks;
Jason
