read file in shell script
- by moata_u
how can i read file in shell script , then assign each line to an variable that i can use later  ,,,(am thinking in way to load an default setting from file)
i already try :
process (){
}
FILE=''
read -p "Please enter name of default file : " FILE
if [ ! -f $FILE  ]; then
    echo "$FILE : does not exists "
    exit 1
elif [ ! -r $FILE  ]; then
    echo "$FILE : can not read "
fi
exec 0<"$FILE"
n=0
while read -r line
do
   (assign each line to an variable) 
done
