I'm new to Linux, so this might be a relatively simple task but my research failed me. I want to write a awk script where it should iterate through a input file which has only one word per line and assign it to a variable, and I have to do some string operations on it. I'm quite confused with how to take the word on each line (by referencing the input file entered in the terminal) and assign it to a variable. Please help me with this task. Thanks in advance.
