How to write a shell script that reads a text file?

Question

Command line

You need to write a small script, well, or with one command, which should read from the "Select_the_version" file, for example:
version: "1.2"
and execute cp -r /server/1.2/* /home/User/Server/

Answer 1

Head-on solution:

egrep '^version:' Select_the_version | awk -F\" '{print "/server/"$2"/*"}' | xargs -J % cp -r % /home/User/Server/
