Can someone please explain how 'mapfile' should be used? I am trying:
cat file.txt | mapfile
for i in ${MAPFILE};do echo $i; done
and I see no output. I've tried adding the -t option to strip
trailing newlines. If I use the following command:
mapfile -u file.txt
I get the error:
bash: mapfile: file.txt: invalid file descriptor specification
Exit 1
This is sad... Any suggestions?
