Creating an array from file input

Hello,

I need to create an array of file names from an existing text file. I
need to find out how to read a text file that contains the file names
on a multiple line text file. Each individual file name is on a single
line by itself.

I want to create an array of the file names to use as input to a
system command that will loop through the file names.


Thanks,

John
