Program wont read number from text file-CodePudding

I'm trying to write a script that takes input from a text file, runs the input in a C program and determines if the answer is correct or not. The text file includes the input value and the correct value separated by a comma. The problem is that it's not working for -20. I think it's something to do with the - symbol because if I change the text file to have a space in front or remove the - symbol it works. Ill put the C programs, text file and script down below. I also included a sample output. The highlighted lines shouldn't be there. Thanks in advance!

(nb. I'm not allowed to change the text file as a valid solution)

Output

C programs

#include <stdio.h>
int increment(int a);
void main(void){
        int a;
        scanf("%i", &a);
        a = increment(a);
        printf("%i\n", a);
        return;
}

int increment(int a){
        int b = a;
        b = b   1;
        return b;
}

CodePudding user response：

set $input throws an error when $input starts with a dash, because set thinks that it's a flag. Use set -- $input instead:

--  Assign any remaining arguments to the positional parameters.
    If there are no remaining arguments, the positional parameters
    are unset.
