I have a text file which consists of say ..following information say test.text
:
an
apple of
one's eye
I want to read these lines in an array using shell scripting by doing a cat test.text. I have tried using a=(`cat test.text`)
, but that doesn't work as it considers space as a delimiter. I need the values as a[0]=an
, a[1]=apple of
, a[2]=one's eye
. I don't want to use IFS
. Need help, thanks in advance..!!
