I have been working on this script for a while now and I am to the last issue and can't get past it. The CSV i'm using has returns (seems like) at the end of each line. When the element is echoed out to a new file, it is including that in the value, so it is skipping a line. Any help would be much appreciated.
#!/bin/bash
## We capture the logged in user and the UID to use later when running the local script as the user
loggedInUser=$(stat -f%Su /dev/console)
loggedInUID=$(id -u "$loggedInUser")
## Create a script in /tmp to run as the logged in user
cat << EOS > /private/tmp/file_chooser.sh
#!/bin/bash
## Run an Applescript to present file chooser to the user
osascript -e 'tell application (path to frontmost application as text)
set myFile to choose file
POSIX path of myFile
end'
## Echo back the selection result
echo $myFile
EOS
## Script creation done
## Now make the new script executable
chmod +x /private/tmp/file_chooser.sh
## Run the script as the user, capturing the output into a new variable
FileChooserResponse=$(/bin/launchctl asuser "$loggedInUID" sudo -iu "$loggedInUser" "/private/tmp/file_chooser.sh")
Date=`date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`
file_in="$FileChooserResponse"
file_out="/Users/"$loggedInUser"/Downloads/Frontline_Time_$Date.xml"
echo '<?xml version="1.0"?>' > $file_out
echo '<TAARecords>' >> $file_out
#while IFS=$',' read -a arry
#do
IFS=","
while read -a arry
do
echo ' <TAARecord>' >> $file_out
echo ' <EmployeeID>'${arry[0]}'</EmployeeID>' >> $file_out
