I was wondering if it's possible to make the build-in 'read' command not always stop at ascii 0.
I've got a file "foo" with "asdf\0qwer\n" in it and when I do:
read x < foo
then
echo ${#x}
always returns 4 instead of 9 or 10 because it stopped after "asdf" at the null char
I've played with setting $IFS, and with -r and -d on the read command itself, but nothing seems to work.
Is this possible?
Thanks, Davy
