  One way to merge two arrays:
  
  #existing array
  existing=(item1, item2, item3);
  
  #items to merge (including an item requiring correct quoting)
  merge=(item4 item5 "${item6}*");
  
  count=${#existing[@]};
  num_new_items=${#merge[@]};
  # this loop appends items to the end of the array
  for (( i=0;i<$num_new_items;i++)); do
  echo ${i};
  existing[$count]=${merge[${i}]};
  let count+=1;
  done
  
  count=${#existing[@]}
  for (( i=0;i<$count;i++)); do
  echo ${existing[${i}]};
  done

  You can do it this way:
  <pre>
  cat $file | while read line; do
  echo "$line";
  done
  </pre>
