UNIX - Reading the input to a shell Scrip from a File

[SANDY1722]

Hi,

I have a shell script, test.ksh which should read the input from another file, say 1.txt

test.ksh:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

datasource=$1

echo "Data is: $datasource


1.txt:

12345

When I run the command:

$test.ksh < 1.txt

It does not read the varibale properly from the file.

The scrip works fine when I type:

$test.ksh 12345


Thanks for help.
