I have one txt file that has bunch of class names.
I would like to read those class names line by line in bash script and assign that value to a variable to use it globally in another command in the script.
FILES="files.txt"
for f in $FILES
do
echo "Processing $f file..."
# take action on each file. $f store current file name
cat $f
done
I'm assuming files.txt
is a list of the class files, one class per line?
while read class
do : whatver you need with $class
done < files.txt
If you have more than one file of classes, use an array.
Don't make it all caps.
file_list=( files.txt other.txt ) # put several as needed
for f in "${file_list[@]}" # use proper quoting
do : processing $f # set -x for these to log to stderr
while read class
do : whatver you need with $class
done < "$f"
done
