[SLUG] Scripting Question

Here's what I've got: I want to be able to peel off one line at a time
from a file and process just that line, before going on to the next one.
I tried something like:

cat myfile | while read ; do
        do_something $REPLY
done

but it didn't work. I'm trying to avoid awk, sed, perl and such, and
only do this in bash.

Any clues?

Paul
