I have a file say ADCD which is like following-->
Please consider 'z' as space
#cat ADCD
<!--Yzzz|z-->
<!--Nzzzzz-->
Now I want to store the content of this file to a variable say VAR like this-->
#VAR=`cat ADCD`
#echo $VAR
<!--Yz|z--> <!--Nz-->
Now I don' t want the variable to evaluate space within the tags.
My Result should be like this-->
#echo $VAR
<!--Yzzz|z--> <!--Nzzzzz-->
Please help me on this. Thanks in advance.
