Storing file contents to a variable
Hi All,
I was trying a shell script. I was unable to store file contents to a variable in the script. I have tried the below but unable to do it.
Input = `cat /path/op.diary`
Input = $(<op.diary)
I am using ksh shell. I want to store the 'op.diary' file contents to the variable 'Input' and i want to use some other commands later on the variable 'Input'.
Can anyone one of you help me on this ?
Thanks in advance.
