Read a file line by line assigning the value to a variable

Question

I have the following .txt file:

Marco
Paolo
Antonio

I want to read it line-by-line, and for each

Answer 1

I encourage you to use the -r flag for read which stands for:

-r  Do not treat a backslash character in any special way. Consider each
    backslash to be part of the input line.

I am citing from man 1 read.

Another thing is to take a filename as an argument.

Here is updated code:

#!/usr/bin/bash
filename="$1"
while read -r line; do
    name="$line"
    echo "Name read from file - $name"
done < "$filename"
