Help me understand this!

[Lerebours, Jose]

>From filePro process, I am using

x=open(file,"rwtc"), y=write(x,string) and z=close(x)

Now, string holds value from two fields

field1(10,*) and field2(13,*)

content in field1 is mostly not longer than 8 char

So, the written file ends-up looking like so

0123456789012345678901234567890
FIELD1LN1  FIELD2LINE1
FIELD1LN2  FIELD2LINE2
FIELD1LN3  FIELD2LINE3

etc, etc, etc ...

I then use shell script to run a for/next loop

for X in `cat filename`
do

echo "$X"

done

The displayed text is as follows

FIELD1LN1
FIELD1LINE1
FIELD1LN2
FIELD2LINE2
FIELD1LN3
FIELD2LINE3

I am expecting to retain both fields side by side
in $X.  If I vi the file it looks fine.  If I cat
the file it looks fine ...

Why is this?  How can I get what I am looking for?

Thank you all in advance!
