hey u didnt got my question... i dont need [TO_LIST=someone1@gamil.com,someone2@gamil.com,someone3@gamil.com ] this to be in my script .
actaully in the same directory i will create afile ex names.txt which will contain all the mail id's .
someone1@gamil.com
someone2@gamil.com
someone3@gamil.com

Now my aim isto read all the names from this file names.txt . Then save it in the string TO_LIST in such a way that all these email id are separated by space . Now we need to call the TO_LIST.
i WANT how to save all these email id in the string .TO_LIST= someone1@gamil.com,someone2@gamil.co...one3@gamil.com
