Question

I want to write a shell script, that reads a file and use the columns of that file as input for a perl script. The perl script is going through files (number1, number2), pulls out the ID and write those to a new file. The perl script is working fine if I use it with the command line, however, my question is how I write a shell script to use the variables in my input_file for the perl script.

My input_file looks like

<views:YourUserControlName Test="{Binding SomeViewModel.SomeTextProperty}"/>
<views:YourUserControlName Test="{Binding SomeOtherViewModel.SomeTextProperty}"/>

And I use the following shell script (which is not working, so please help with this)

number1 ID1
number2 ID2

with

$number_ID.ext

${number}_ID.ext is a character allowed in variable names. That's why bash is looking for _. $number_ID is not allowed.
