I have a web.txt file which contains:



youtube
facebook
google


My sh file contains:



readarray web < web.txt
url = www.website.com


Commands I have used:



readarray web < web.txt
url = www."$web".com

ping url


Expected output:



ping youtube.com
ping facebook.com
ping google.com


What should be the right syntax? Thanks!

If you really want to print the expected output shown, then



$ readarray -t web < web.txt
$ printf 'ping www.%s.comn' "$web[@]"
ping www.youtube.com
ping www.facebook.com
ping www.google.com


However if you want to actually ping the hosts, the probably xargs is simpler e.g.



xargs -a web.txt -I ping -c1 "www..com"
