Try:
while read i;do echo $i;done < certificates.txt

Bad practice.

That's the right solution, but don't forget to always quote your variables "$i"

Regards

PS: you sometimes might need "read -r"

(As people already pointed out in case the input is coming from a file
you should use a redirect.)

What you see has to do with the internal field separator (IFS), which is
usually set to space, tab and newline. Each of these characters is
considered a field separator i.e. a break point in your list. You can
read up on this at
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/internalvariables.html#IFSH .

Regards,
Leonard.

but i got this

RSA

This will make it work your way.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

IFS="
"
for i in `cat certificates.txt` ; do
echo $i
done
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Sure will. i is in the list RSA Secure etc. and each word is a member of
the list, separated by whitespace. Y'know, it would be a lot easier to do
awk '{print $0;}' certificates.txt, which would be exactly what you want.
