questions about accessing files content in script

[Volodymyr Lyubinets]

In class we used loop like:

for word in 'cat "$2"';do

However, there must be some mistake, since word iterates between words
cat and "$2", which is wrong. What is the problem?

You're using the wrong kind of quotes. Try `cat "$2"`.
