Hopefully this isn't a repost. The first send of the e-mail gave me an error. Anyway... I'm hoping someone can help me with what would seem to be a simple problem. I have a file that has many lines that look like the following. $SOME_ENV_VAR/blah/blah/$SOME_OTHER_ENV_VAR I want to read/cat the file and resolve the environment variables (not print out $SOME_ENV_VAR). The only way I have been able to do this so far is by looping through the file, line by line, and using the "eval echo $line" command (e.g. cat file | while read line; do eval echo $line; done). There's got to be a more efficient way (If there's thousands of lines, this takes a while). Any help appreciated.
