Reading lines in a file and avoiding lines with # with Bash

Question

I tried this:

file=\"myfile\"
while read -r line
do
    [[ $line = \\#* ]] && continue
    \"address=\\$line\\127.0.0.1\"
done < \"$file\"
         


        

Answer 1

You can filter with awk:

awk '!/^#/{print"address=/"$0"/127.0.0.1"}' file
