Use input from a file for a command

Question

I want to use the mac address stored in a file in aireplay-ng command. I want this command to be executed once with each mac address in the file. Can you please tell me how to do it?

sudo aireplay-ng -1 0 -e VMC_AP -a  D4:4C:24:2B:EE:80 -h CC:AF:78:B3:E5:0F mon0 --ignore-negative-one

I want -h CC:AF:78:B3:E5:0F to be replaced by different mac address stored in a file .

Thank you!

Assuming mac.txt is the file where all mac addresses are (one per line), you can use the following:

while read mac
do 
    sudo aireplay-ng -1 0 -e VMC_AP -a  D4:4C:24:2B:EE:80 -h $mac mon0 --ignore-negative-one  &
done < mac.txt
