How can i get the value from a file using bash?

Question

I have file test.txt contains the following

AA=testing
BB=help
CC=hello

How can i make a bash script that will get each value and assign to a new variable?

#!/bin/bash

var1=testing
var2=help
var3=hello

thanks for the help

@EdMorton's answer on that duplicate question is the one I would choose (despite it not being the accepted answer). — Etan Reisner, Aug 22 '14 at 13:21

First of all a = value is not correct syntax in shell. In shell the spaces are important.

When you have a valid file, you can use the eval function to evaluate that file as a string, or simply source it.
