[c shell] printing out each line in a file
 
Hi. I want to know how to print out each line in a file. Thanks!

cat file

where file is the file you want to look at.
Or use a pager.

less file
or
more file
or (if you have it)
most file

sorry.. i wanted to print out each line of a file and save it into a variable so if i had a file with a word on each line:

monday is yesterday.
tuesday is today.
wednesday is tomorrow.

i want to put each of these lines into a variable...

e.g.
variable = monday is yesterday.
and so on putting each of the lines into that or a different variable.

how would i do that?

Code:
#!/bin/bash

#list the file into an variable
foo=$(cat your_file)
for var1 in $foo
do
        #do something with the result...
        #....
        #echo "current line from file:" $var1
done
Something like this perhaps.
