[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

I am not sure if this is a bug or not. Her is an example of my script that
I am running.

#!/bin/bash

rm -f x.txt
rm -f new_file

i=1
wc -l file1 | sed 's/file1//g' >> x.txt

x=$(<x.txt)

while [ $i -le $x ]
do
            #echo "$i"
         A=$( awk -v var="$i" 'NR==var {print}' file1)
        #ack -k file1 file2 --match $A >> new_file
        grep $A some_file.txt
    ((i++))

done

grep does not appear to be grepping inside of the while loop. When I
initialize a variable directly from the command line and write the same
script it works no problem, any help on this matter would be greatly
appreciated.

No further comment and it has been a couple of months, so closing the bug report.
