for something in `ls | grep l`
	do
		read -p "Enter here # " entry
		echo $something $entry
	done

You can obviously get more complex with this but this should be the basic framework you would use for what you asked about.

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] another bash question ... I/O


Actually, this is an extension of my first question, but maybe it is 
better expressed.

I need to read from a text file, solicit user input for each item found 
in that file, and then write it all out to a second text file.  I 
suppose I could just do it in C, but if possible I should like to do it 
in bash.

Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated.
