You could do kind of the following things:

example.sh:
#!/bin/sh

read new < /dev/stdin
echo $new

After your script was created, you could run it with some redirected 
text file:

./example.sh < file.txt

Don't forget about permissions of your script file to enable script 
execution. Also you might use while/for-expressions if content of the text 
file is multiple strings rather than just a big one.
