My configs.txt
file is in the format
example1
example2
example3
I would like to read a text file configs.txt
into an array and then loop through the array to perform a tar
command to create a separate tarfile for each entry like example1.gz
etc.
Not sure why you need an array
while read p; do
echo "$p";
# tar here
done < configs.txt
for p in $(cat configs.txt); do
echo "$p";
# tar here
done
