capturing a file line in a variable

[ProbablyDown]

Hi Folks,

Given a file myfile.txt that contains two lines:

BOM BOM_SRS_DATE BOM_SRS_DATE_STANDARD
CE FND_DATE4 FND_STANDARD_DATE

How would I use awk to extract each line as a variable into my shell script?
Example:

VAR1 = BOM BOM_SRS_DATE BOM_SRS_DATE_STANDARD
VAR2 = CE FND_DATE4 FND_STANDARD_DATE

Any help is much appreciated!!

Try something like this:

eval `awk '{printf "var%d=%s\n",NR,$0}' myfile.txt`
echo "var1='$var1'\nvar2='$var2'"

Hope This Help

Sorry for the typo:

eval `awk '{printf "var%d=\"%s\"\n",NR,$0}' myfile.txt`
echo "var1='$var1'\nvar2='$var2'"
