how to read from a file using shell scripts

Can anyone tell me a method on how to read a config file from a shell script.
My config file has 5 arameters and i want to read them
Thanks

 

Try using the TYPE command.

Also, what scripting language is this? What OS, and perhaps post your script for us to peruse.

 

in linux it's

cat <filepath/name>
or vi <filepath/name> (will actually open the vi text editor)

 

for i in `cat config.sh `;
do
export $i;
done

im doing in linux, and found this helpful

 

I need to remember you are using linux, which I haven't dealt with in 2 years.
