In the shell, you can use the following method to assign the content of a file to a variable:

    The concert was delayed because of the weather.

variable=$(command < filename)

Among them, the command is the one you want to use.

Note: In the above methods, filename is the name of the file whose content you want to read, and it can be either a relative path or an absolute path.
