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
