I will agree that your method is superior. However, mine does work. At
least on my Linux system (Fedora 25)
$ IFS="" lista=$(cat list)
$ echo $lista
hello
world
Your solution, as I understand it:
$ lista=$(cat list)
$ echo "$lista"
hello
world
Yet another solution:
$ lista="$(cat list)"
$ echo $lista
hello
world
All of the above are the cut'n'paste from my Linux/Intel system, Linux
