Create new directory using contents of file

Question

In bash I have a file called temporary.txt that contains one line of text. I want to use the contents of this line of text to create a new directory? How can i do this?

Answer 1

Try this which is less complex than the accepted answer.

mkdir `cat temp`

For each and every word in your text file this creates a directory.

Answer 2

Try this:

mkdir "$(< temporary.txt)"
