if you mean that you want to read the contents of a file and use it onwards, then cat is the command you want.. It outputs directly to standard output the contents of the file.

could you post an example script (for eg the one your working on) and what you want it to produce? Im having troubles understanding what your saying..

You want the script to read a file, and then transfer its contents to a variable? Or to just use then onwards in other commands?
