Your question makes little sense to me.  In U-Boot, we have commands;
these are usually non-interactive, i. e. they take only command line
arguments.  There are very few exceptions, like "askenv", "mm", or
"nm".  These interactive commands will always be interactive, even
when used in scripts.


To answer your direct question: no, there is no such thing as a "read"
command in U-Boot.  There is also no concept of files and/or of file
redirection.

<speculation on>
I guess what you might have in mind couldbe done using "askenv".
