Is there a shell command to read files? I want to open a text file, loop

Depending on what you want to do:
man sed
man awk
Yeah, but he asked about shell commands which read files, and that is 'cat'
so my addon to your answer is : see also 'man cat'
In bash script you might use something like
for i in $(cat yourfile);
do
do_something_with $i
done
