Code:

MYVAR=fred
echo MYVAR = $MYVAR
echo $MYVAR >temp
MYVAR=banana
echo MYVAR = $MYVAR
read MYVAR <temp
echo MYVAR = $MYVAR

Krishna,
One important thing to remember is the difference between
single ">" (creates a new file) and double ">>" (creates the file
if it does not exists, if it exists, appends to it).
