What is your end goal? The easiest way to initialize a variable from a
file is to have that file be a source-able grub script, for instance a
file containing only 'my_variable=foo' could be loaded by grub using
'source /path/to/file.cfg' and after sourcing the file $my_variable
would be initialized to 'foo'.
