Bash Question
While..Do with multiple conditions in shell
I need to read a file line by line until end of file, or a blank line is encountered. I have the following code in a shell script which does not work:
while read line
do
commands
done < file.prop || $line == ""
Can this be done?

Yes, this could be done easily with the break command.
while read line
do
if [ "$line" == "" ]; then
break
else
# commands
fi
done < file.prop
