How do I read a variable from a file in shell script

Hi,

In my project we are submitting the job on spark cluster through sh file. Now I want to read some of the variables from other file and then use this in spark submit command.

How do I read a variable from a file in shell script and then use it with spark-submit?

Thanks

HI,

You can define the variable in another file and add the variable definition like:

MYVARIABLE="string value"
DB_IP="192.168.5.7"

Then in the sh file where you are executing spark-submit you can do following:

#!/bin/bash

source <filename>
echo $MYVARIABLE
echo $DB_IP

Hope this helps you.

Thanks
