This answer has a solution to the problem you are trying to create: Why does bash remove \n in $(cat file)?
If you type cat myfile.txt you will see:
abc
def
ghi
But if you type echo $(cat myfile.txt) you will see:
abc def ghi
Note this method inserts a space where separate new lines used to be. This makes the output easier to read but doesn’t strictly adhere to your question scope.
